The Mike James Content Experience

The Mike Jamespodcasters.spotify.com
Hi, I’m Mike James and I love interacting with people. I am fascinated by sharing stories of successful online creators who have built their brand from nothing, I find creators who are honest about their struggles, strategies, and shortcomings to be inspiring. I invite you to join me as I share the ideas, techniques, and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and success. I will attempt to discover and share the “secrets” to modern-day content creation success without any data collection, surveys or ‘how to’ videos. All of this in hopes of helping us both learn to succeed as a creator!
