I create content not for content sake rather to grow my business, connect with potential customers and scale my community to be my outbound marketing army. On this episode, I break down the importance of having a strategy and a mindset that is built for a business-minded content creator, not just a creative or viral star.

On this episode I Brian Fanzo, founder of iSocialFanz get real with you and share something that happened to me this past week and why I had to be ok with it and why I feel I'm not alone with this struggle.  

When I think travel I immediately think about Instagram and the travel influencers I know that are making it big having the “dream job” of getting paid to travel the world.  But as I’ve been working and speaking at travel/hospitality events in 2018 the tone of most in the audience is of one that either feels digital has hurt their brand or they aren’t sure how to sell what they do on social media.  

Brian Fanzo the host of FOMOFanz might present himself as a massive extrovert but you might be surprised at how he feels about "forced conversations" and the strategic approaches he takes to make sure he gets the most out of networking events. 

On this episode, I discuss the importance of self-love, self-awareness, and selfishness in being part of a great team.  I also break down how golf is like entrepreneurship and the only way to make it to the top is to have coaches and friends and others around you that are supporting you but also working with you to make you the best person you can be.  

Why would someone want waste their time on a roadtrip or create blog content daily from the shower in a business development role? On this episode of FOMOFanz we bring on a new sponsor www.CodeForChange.org and I interview my new best friend Demian Ross who I just recently went on a road trip with 11 days from Ohio to Denver.

This episode is live from my #RoadToSocial in Indianapolis and I share some of my lessons from the road, the reasons I almost didn't go on this trip and the importance of not waiting for something to be an experience and allowing experiences to happen. 

On this episode I bring you a candid conversation with a good buddy of mine and fellow marketer Chris Kubby live from Poland where we are literally sitting at a table backstage at the INFOshare conference, shooting the chat. We breakdown our thoughts on the current state of digital marketing we call out those that sell unicorns and rainbows and we really just have a lot of fun interviewing each other.

I break down some comments I received at the Social Shake-Up Show last week and share why a brand emailed me to speak at their event because of my cool “You’re Killing Me Smalls T-Shirt.”

Every business must be on Facebook and Instagram!   No, I disagree but I would say that every business and brand no matter the industry can find massive business value leveraging Facebook and Instagram in 2018 and beyond.   Questions and concepts I discussed on this episode: Why most of what we know about Facebook users is wrong! Difference between Facebook social network and Twitter social community more...

I'm not sure why Twitter became less sexy for brands or entrepreneurs to talk about but I firmly believe while everyone is focused on Facebook ads and Instagram, you can stand out and find massive business value on Twitter in 2018 and beyond.  

I'm fired up on this episode ranting about two methods that are really bothering me that both Sales and PR leaders are leveraging in this digital world! 

It's time to set the record straight on some of this BS that is being told to our future generation.... it's also important to remember that TIMES HAVE CHANGED and some advice that we were given in the 90's is no longer of value in 2018 and beyond thanks to digital! On this episode I share my thoughts on the bad advice I’m tired of hearing and that includes such things as..

On this episode I got fired up talking about one of my all-time favorite topics "Collaboration" and it impacts on the future of work and why I feel empowerment is the key to company culture.
