A must-listen for content creators and startup founders

I’m a developer with a mobile app and I’m always looking for new tips about how to grow my brand and increase awareness about my app. This podcast is exactly what I’ve been wanting and every episode teaches me something new and exciting!

Well intentioned

You are regurgitating things you’ve heard but you’re not thinking for yourselves. For example you mention the gap in story and started to talk about Star Wars and mentioned Aniken by mistake. Like the story of Aniken doesn’t fit the arc or the gap. But it does everything does everything everything but where your podcast is falling short is you’re not thinking for yourselves and not really diving into why and how to make this podcast instructional for people in real life making business videos or personal videos more compelling. I’m happy to be interviewed on your podcast to help you evolve
