February Talk with Wade Saxton

It's February and Valentine's Day has come and gone and it now appears we're in a period of extreme weather again this week. Historically February is a month of ‘new beginnings’ and today we're talking to USA-based Wade Saxton of Smoke & Bacon Media LLC which is a full-service media company offering services which include: owning and operating its own social media content destination available on IOS, Android, and the web (comparable to Reddit, Facebook etc); streaming content services; media production services.

What do you love about running your own business?

• The Freedom to do what we want
• The ability to help others achieve their dreams 
• The amazing people we meet and places we see and connect with. 

What do you love about your business community? 
Our community is like a secondary family, we believe in creating strong bonds between our community members and ourselves.  

What do you love about your business which has changed over the last year? 
The wide range of items we are involved in continues to grow each year. 

Who would have thought we would be here a couple of years ago! 

It is one of the things I love the most, ending up somewhere that we never thought we would be.  

What have been the main challenges you’ve had to overcome in the last year? 
Covid19 -  not to sound like everyone else has been our primary challenge - even though we operate a 100% digital services system. 

People being out of work has caused us to evaluate previous and new offerings to make our services not only more affordable but with a large value to the consumer as well.   

Is Valentine’s Day a ‘thing’ for you in your life? 
It’s not a thing in my life, that’s because every day should be treated like Valentine’s Day with those that you love

February 17 was Random Acts of Kindness Day – has anyone shown you, or your business, a random act of kindness over the last year?
Absolutely, there are too many to list and we return just as many if not more to our community members. 

In the yearly cycle of your business – what do you expect during February? 
February is traditionally an uptick in activities and interest month for us, we tend to see that everyone has just come off the holidays and January is more of a recovery month. 

Starting in February we will see an uptick in interactions and requests and by March we will be running wide open with a ton of work. 

Are there any key moments or events within your business that you’d like to share during February? 
We were approved to list our passion project, Project Legends on Prime video in the USA and UK. That was a jaw-dropping moment for us and the excitement still hasn’t worn off. We are now working to add it to other platforms and film services.

Have you got any special offers you’d like to mention?
We just launched our charity full-time, Smoke & Bacon Golf. Stop by and take a look at what we are doing. 

It's a unique program that we have been running in the background for a couple of years now. It was time to bring it out into the open. www.smokeandbacongolf.com
