    Here are some of the key takeaways from my fellow panelists and I.

    1️⃣ It's not always about pushing content. Engage in conversations. - Emily Focault



    2️⃣ Study the app store to learn why those apps are successful. - Mahfuz



    3️⃣ Build your portfolio for free to get started. - Hassan



    4️⃣ Your brand is your most important selling tool. - Astawa



    What stood out to you the most from our conversation? Let me know!
