Episode #56
Hey everybody what’s up?
Today on the show I have Brendan Hufford. Brendan is an online business owner and an SEO specialist, meaning he’s working a full time job while running his online business. He’s also a husband and father, and has other small things on the side such as running Pat Flynn’s Facebook Community.
So first – you can understand why this is going to be a very interesting conversation and also see why I brought him on the show – because he’s a lot like me – running multiple operations and a family which I definitely appreciate.
We talk about online discoverability, breaking through the noise as an up and coming entrepreneur, we talk about networking, and of course practical SEO tips for us content creators.
Enjoy everybody! Let’s get this party started!
