14 NOV 2024 · In Episode 3 of Power 5 with Nick Augustine, we explore a theme that feels particularly relevant as the holiday season approaches: the importance of appreciating the quiet people in our lives. For many of us, the holidays seem to come faster every year, and it’s easy to get caught up in the rush. This year, I’m challenging myself to take a step back from the chaos and focus on what matters—relationships that genuinely bring joy and add value to our lives.
I find sending Christmas cards to be one of the most rewarding traditions during this time of year. It’s a simple way to reconnect with people who live their lives quietly, who aren’t always in the spotlight but have a profound impact simply by being themselves. These are the people who don’t create drama, don’t demand attention, and don’t dominate conversations. Yet, they are often the ones who truly matter—the ones who bring light and positivity to our world.
This episode also delves into a broader cultural observation: we often become distracted by the noisemakers in our lives. These are the people who always have strong opinions, who dominate social media, and who never hesitate to share their thoughts loudly. But are these the individuals who truly enrich our lives? In many cases, the quiet ones—the steady, reliable, and sincere people—are the ones who bring us genuine happiness.
This year, I’m setting a personal boundary. I’m no longer sending holiday greetings out of obligation. If I haven’t enjoyed someone’s company or if our relationship has become one-sided, I’m choosing not to invest my time and energy. Instead, I’m focusing on the quiet individuals who may not come to mind every day because they aren’t the loudest, but they are the most valuable.
As we move towards 2025, I’m also excited about the new people I’ll meet. Big changes are coming, and I look forward to connecting with new faces who may play a meaningful role in the next chapter of my life. These might be individuals who, like the quiet ones I value now, don’t seek the spotlight but have a powerful influence.
So, how are you feeling this mid-November, especially in an election year when emotions can run high? Are you struggling to find that festive spirit? If so, you’re not alone. This episode is a reminder to slow down, focus on what matters, and appreciate those who bring real value to your life—whether they’re old friends or new connections.
Let’s make this holiday season about gratitude for the quiet, kind-hearted individuals who make life better. And if you need help with marketing, branding, or finding your professional voice, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help!

7 NOV 2024 · Welcome to Power 5 with Nick Augustine! In today’s episode, we’re tackling a trend affecting many business people: relying too heavily on digital communication to build new relationships. Digital tools have expanded our reach and played an essential role in branding, but nothing beats the value of real-life connections for those seeking new clients, customers, or referrals. Nick explores how being out in the community, attending events, and meeting face-to-face build the critical “know, like, and trust” factor that’s foundational in business. When people know you in person, your online presence takes on more meaning and authenticity, leading to more robust engagement and brand credibility. Over the years, people have pulled back from in-person networking, which shows how businesses find it harder to gain meaningful engagement online. Social media should augment your real-world presence, not replace it. As we look toward 2025, Nick challenges listeners to make plans to attend events, join networking groups, and put effort into connecting with people in the real world. With this balanced approach, you can establish a more effective digital brand backed by genuine social proof. This episode is perfect for entrepreneurs, business professionals, and anyone looking to build authentic, lasting connections.
