How many ads do you have running on Facebook right now? How about your direct competition? Chances are you don’t have any and neither do they. If you do, hey, kudos to you. If not, well, why not? Television, print, radio, billboards…those are strategies that worked 30 years ago. Today, everyone’s eyeballs are on the […]

Exploding My Personal Brand

Take a second and look at how much content your brand is producing. I’ll wait. How’d you do? To be honest, it was a trick question. The answer is that no matter how much you’re putting out, it’s not enough. I know that because I’m not putting out enough content, and I’ve got 126 episodes […]

I Want To Be A Movie Star
