In this lively and wide-ranging episode of The Spotlight, host Allison S. Weiss chats with her good friend and powerhouse marketer, Mo Regalado. Mo is the founder of MoVo Media Marketing, a Spokane Valley-based agency specializing in social media strategy for commercial and residential real estate professionals. As a StoryBrand Certified Guide, Mo brings clarity, creativity, and humor to the process of helping clients show up authentically online.

Mo shares how a (self-described) disastrous interview with industry legend Beth Azor unexpectedly launched her into the commercial real estate world. From there, she built a business that centers client voice, neurodivergent strengths, and marketing with heart.

Together, Mo and Allison dive into the realities of entrepreneurship, the power of showing up as yourself on social, and how Mo’s “super ADHD” helps her tune into clients’ voices better than any algorithm could.

Whether you're building a brand, navigating male-dominated spaces, or trying to figure out what makes your voice stand out—this one’s for you.

“Social media isn’t your marketing plan—it’s a piece of it. You need a whole strategy.”

“If you’re not ready, I’m going to tell you you’re not ready—and give you a plan to get there.”
