    We Need More Focus on Words as Creators

    We Need More Focus on Words as Creators

    It seems to me that the best business model for content entrepreneurs focuses on the creation, arrangement and distribution of words. Although most content creators don't see it that way, it doesn't mean it's not true. What do you think?

The only podcast I listen to twice

Consistency is king. I've been listening to Joe since 2015 and each episode has been like a stepping stone to my career as a content entrepreneur. If you are interested in moving out of corporate marketing and going it alone or looking to get the inside track on emerging trends in the content and media industry - add this to your listen list. A few weeks with this guy and you'll start to question everything you were taught in business school.

Amazing podcast!

Found Joe yesterday via Simon Owens interview! Now hooked! Been listening back to back today as I make a decision about my own future business plans. Feeling so inspired and clearer thanks to Joe’s insight and wisdom. Highly recommended to everyone - this is more than content marketing. Thank you Joe! ❤️

Still Going, Still Strong

So good to hear Joe back, he has set the benchmark over the years and still does it in such a down to earth manner.
