Episode #47
Today I have Justin Jackson on the show. Justin is a coder, a writer, a father AND a mega-successful entrepreneur who managed to build a huge community around his values and skills and launch multiple products to them, including online courses and digital software such as Transistor.fm. I was really inspired by Justin’s re-purposing game and how he shows up everywhere openly sharing his thoughts and ideas.
In this episode we talked about how to find your voice as a content creator. We talked about:
✍️ Writing and keeping up with writing
✍️ Finding our tone of writing and our voice as content creators
🚀How to differentiate yourself in your market
📹 Tips for live streaming
🔥Mindset as creatives
🤔How to find what to write about
🎯How to create great content for multiple outlets (repurposing)
And more…
Was an awesome conversation! I really enjoyed it and sure you will too!
So let’s get this party started!
