The Entrepreneur Cast - podcast cover

The Entrepreneur Cast

Are you an entrepreneur? Do you wish you were? Serial entrepreneurs Jayson DeMers and Sam McRoberts will walk you through all the various aspects of entrepreneurship, from starting and running a business, to digital marketing, SEO, psychology, copywriting and so much more. The biggest struggle for most entrepreneurs is that they don't know what they don't know...and that's where Sam and Jayson come to the rescue. They'll fill in the knowledge gaps, and lead you through your entrepreneurial journey from end-to-end. Sam McRoberts is the CEO of VUDU Marketing, an SEO agency that specializes in audits, strategies and consulting. He is also the bestselling author of Screw the Zoo, a writer for Inc. and Entrepreneur, and a digital nomad who travels the world with his family non-stop. Jayson DeMers is the founder and CEO of Email Analytics, a SaaS tool for improving email productivity for sales teams, account managers and customer service reps. He is also the former founder and CEO of AudienceBloom (acquired), and a prolific writer whose work has been seen on Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, Business Insider, and dozens of other media outlets. The Entrepreneur Cast will air every Monday, and will be available on iTunes, Spotify, Overcast and other platforms. The format is fireside chat with co-hosts, though the occasional guest may join the show.

A Theist, an Atheist, and an Agnostic Walk Into a Bar

The bartender looks up and says, "What'll it be?" The Theist says, "I'll have a water, uh, actually, make it wine." The Atheist says, "Just a beer for me, I’m not a fan of strong spirits." The Agnostic pauses and says, "I’m not sure…surprise me, I’ll try a few things until I find something legit." 😂 What better day than Christmas to make a dig at religion in all its forms! I don’t know about you, but I love wandering around YouTube for interesting things to watch, and recently I’ve come across ...
