PodcastingFan ,

One of the best podcasts on digital writing you’ll ever find

I recently found this Podcast through a YouTube video and all I can say is…wow!

Nicolas and Dickie are the real deal. The level of value they deliver on this Podcast is insane, they leave no stone unturned.

They freely share frameworks and methodologies that others would charge thousands (or even tens of thousands) of dollars for.

If you are an aspiring creator looking to grow an audience organically, this Podcast is a must!

This ship is moving!

Dickie and Cole are creating a movement across the entire business landscape! Becoming a Digital Writer has never been more important for the future of business - both online and offline - and these two are making it both accessible and attainable for even the average business owners and entrepreneurs. I got in late but am really enjoying my binge. That is what you do on big ships, don’t you? Thanks guys!
