Connect Inspire Create
Welcome to Connect Inspire Create — a podcast exploring meaningful conversations about life, work, creativity, and the ways we grow.
I’m Carol Clegg, your host — an accountability coach and curious conversationalist — inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.
These conversations go beyond business strategies.
We explore:
- living with intention and self-trust
- alternative ways of thinking and being
- creativity, purpose, and personal growth
- navigating transitions in work and life
- what it really takes to follow through on what matters
If you’re someone who enjoys reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue — this space is for you.
Connect Inspire Create is about slowing down the conversation just enough to notice what inspires us… and how those insights shape what we create in our lives.
Let’s connect. Let’s explore. Let’s create — together.

The Art and Strategy of Short-Form Video Marketing with Dorien Morin-von Dam
Dorien Morin-van Dam is a seasoned social media strategist with nearly 15 years of experience helping brands grow through smart, sustainable strategies. A Certified Social Media Manager and Agile Marketer, she also consults on AI strategy for small businesses, showing teams how to use AI in marketing responsibly and effectively. Dorien turns organic content and emerging tech into measurable results, speaks internationally, and hosts the Strategy Talks video podcast.
Dorien shares her expertise on creating effective short-form videos that captivate audiences across different social media platforms, revealing the transformation from content creator to storyteller.
She offers valuable insights on platform-specific strategies and the power of immersive retreats for developing video skills in a supportive environment.
• The key transformation happens when you move from "having to create content" to recognizing storytelling opportunities around you
• You don't have to publish everything you create – practice builds confidence and technical skills without pressure
• Focus your primary content creation efforts on the platform giving you the highest ROI, then repurpose strategically
• LinkedIn videos work best at around two minutes and focused on a single tip or idea
• Creating in community accelerates learning through shared "aha moments" and collaborative problem-solving
• AI tools like ChatGPT can serve as strategic thinking partners for solopreneurs developing content plans
