050: Growth Hacking Content, Tools, Tips and Hacks

We made it, halfway to 100 which is kind of like celebrating a half birthday which my daughters love to do and I decided to do on this episode 50.  

On this episode I shared my favorite apps and tools for consuming, curating & sharing content as well as the places I'm spending my time focusing on like Linkedin, AR/VR and artificial intelligence...

Focus of this episode:

• Why I numbered my podcast with 3 digits and my commitment to you the listeners.
• I live stream my podcast on Facebook Live, Periscope and syndicate it to C-Suite Tv, why and what value does that provide my sponsors and me as a podcast host?

Connecting Great People with Great People to do Great Things! Inspiration for my new segment that will be titled “Know more than your friends!”

• You don’t need permission to take action
• Consuming, learning and being in the know is important but don’t let it become what prevents you from taking action on what you’ve learned or know.  I share my story of how this crushed me when launching my first podcast SMACtalk 4 years ago.
