Transcript

[MUSIC PLAYING] JENNY GUY: Hey everybody, welcome. It is Thursday, March 12. It is a little bit crazy in our world right now. But we are here. I am Jenny Guy. I'm the Director of Marketing for Mediavine and the host of Teal Talk. And I'm very grateful that you are joining us today.

In current events, daylight savings time started for most of the US states over the weekend, which coincided with International Women's Day and resulted in more confusion and deprivation for females, perfect. And then in other news, spring starts officially one week from today, the season of rebirth, and fresh starts, and green grass. And I think that that's something we could all do with right now in our lives.

I know that on everybody's minds and thoughts right now is what's going on in our world and in our country. But what I'm excited about is we can have a whole hour to just sit in our home pods and talk about our websites and not the big elephant in the room, the virus elephant in the room. I'm so excited.

So as I was saying, spring, rebirth, green grass, fresh starts, which means it's time for spring cleaning, which could be your closet, your pantry, pockets of your winter coats. Unless you are me, and you love the dollar pocket lottery to happen when the next year-- you know, when you put on your coat that you haven't worn in eight months, and you stick your hand in the pocket, and you're like, $5. It's-- it gets me every time.

But what we're talking about today, us being Mediavine, is your website. Have any of you guys ever done this? A deep and thorough cleansing to get rid of the things you don't need anymore that are just taking up space and weighing and slowing you down. It sounds like a great idea. But how do you make this happen? Enter my amazing guests.

Lauryn Gray is the founder of Once Coupled and believes in doing everything with passion and transparency, which mostly means she sends really long emails riddled with exclamation points. Girl, same. She's worked with over 500 plus bloggers on projects from reducing above the fold white space, to taking a site from a zero-page speed optimization score to green.
