A PODCAST IS YOUR BEST NETWORKING TOOL

LET YOUR PODCAST INTRODUCE WHO YOU ARE AND YOUR EXPERTISE

Your podcast can become one of the most valuable networking tools in your business. Every episode gives people a chance to hear your voice, understand your perspective, and build trust with you before they ever reach out. It also makes referring you easier — because people can instantly share an episode that explains who you are, what you do, and how you help. By the time a listener contacts you, they often already feel connected to you and educated on your expertise, turning cold leads into warm conversations with people who already know, like, and trust you.

Bring it all together

Tiffany Mason understands firsthand how powerful networking can be — but also knows it doesn’t come naturally to everyone. That’s why she speaks to groups and entrepreneurs about shifting the way they view networking: not as awkward sales conversations, but as authentic relationship-building that multiplies opportunities in business and life. Through her book, Networking Your Way to the Big Stage, Tiffany helps readers rethink what networking really is, using personal stories, reflection prompts, and practical challenges at the end of each chapter to help readers strengthen their networking skills in real time.

Over five years ago, Tiffany founded Virtually You VA to help business owners turn their podcasts into powerful networking assets through professional podcast management. From editing and production to consistency and polish, she helps transform podcast episodes into content that builds trust, makes referrals easier, and keeps businesses top of mind. The result is a podcast that not only sounds professional, but works as a relationship-building tool that drives warm traffic and educated leads back to the business.

The Toilet Paper Dilemma with a Twist in Accessibility

August 07, 20233 min read

Got a lil somethin' for all you bathroom-goers to think about! I'm taking a plunge into the topic of the world of toilet paper dispensers. Specifically, I want to address a particular quirk - what's up with the height difference between regular and handicapped toilet paper dispensers?

Picture this: I entered a public restroom, ready to answer nature's call, and as I approached the stall, I notice something peculiar. There, right in front of me, hung a toilet paper dispenser—one pretty fairly high and a second one at the regular knee height! (actual pic of the regular stall because I was so perplexed) I couldn't help but wonder, "Why did they do that?"

It's no secret that the so-called "handicap" toilet paper dispensers are designed to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges. But this was a regular stall. But let's be honest, folks: does the height of the dispenser really need to be knee height? Sometimes you really have to contort yourself to get? I mean, I've seen more ergonomic positions during yoga class! It was so nice to reach up and get toilet paper without pulling a muscle (I don't really pull a muscle, but you know what I mean.)

Wouldn't it be a stroke of genius to level the playing field (or should I say, the toilet stall)? Imagine a world where all toilet paper dispensers were elevated to a height that saves us from lower-back gymnastics and spinal twists.

And hey, the benefits wouldn't end there! With universally higher toilet paper dispensers, we'd no longer have to worry about the toilet paper grazing the restroom floor, getting tangled up in some unsightly mess, and possibly limiting the lil shreds of toilet paper that occurs as a result of not being able to see exactly what you are doing. You would actually be able to see which side has toilet paper in the dispenser. Sometimes you slide the lil guard over to find no more toilet paper OR a roll that needs to be started but you can't find the beginning. No more playing "toilet paper tug of war" or wondering whether we're engaging in a germ-filled game of TP Russian roulette.

Imagine the convenience—smooth, effortless unrolling at a comfortable height. We'd all have a moment to appreciate the beauty of seamless toileting experiences, unburdened. It would be a revolution, my friends—a bathroom revolution!

Now, I understand the intention behind the elevated handicapped toilet paper dispensers, and I wholeheartedly support the need for accessibility in public spaces. But can't we find a middle ground? A compromise that satisfies both functionality and usability? Or just raise it in the regular stalls? Let's put our collective thinking caps on and come up with a solution that works for everyone.

In the meantime, let us navigate the labyrinth of toilet paper dispensers with a sense of humor.

Remember, folks, when life throws you high toilet paper dispensers, reach for the stars (or, in this case, the toilet paper) and enjoy the ride. And who knows, maybe someday, we'll all experience a world where the only twists we encounter are in the gym and not in our bathroom routine.
