Small Business Casual
Where small business meets your favorite pair of slippers.
A little quirky, not too buttoned up, one less accessory, ahhh… just right.
Welcome to Small Business Casual, where we focus on designing sustainable, cozy, and thriving businesses tailored to your LIFE. Not the other way around!
From general business and marketing to making sense of the behind-the-scenes chaos, I’m Emily Aborn, your host and Small Business Copywriter!
I’m here to walk alongside you as we make running our businesses less of a roller coaster and more like a scenic train ride (don't forget the snacks!).

Do You Hear What I Hear? The 5 levels of listening
You probably don't need me to tell you that listening is key for relationships, business, and growth.
Did you know it's ALSO important in your content and marketing?!
Listening can help:
1. Build connection and relationships
2. Understand challenges, struggles, and needs
3. Assume less and make insight and information-based decisions
In this episode, we'll get into the implications of not listening and the benefits of moving up the 5 levels of listening. I'll give you action steps along the way to improve your listening skills no matter which level you tend to camp out in.
- The five levels of listening: ignoring, pretend listening, selective listening, attentive listening, and empathetic listening
- How each of the levels plays out in our content, marketing, and business
- A tip or action to improve your listening at each of the levels
- Words to eliminate from your content and marketing
- And more!
