I Think the Industry Needs a Major Correction

On the show today is Bryan Wish. Bryan is the founder of BW Missions, which works with creators and authors to scale their content and products.

I wanted to bring him on because Bryan has worked with high-profile authors like Nir Eyal and Allen Gannett. Successful book launches are great case studies for what successful marketing looks like. Bryan also has a lot of thoughts on the future of creators, content, and personal brands.

You'll hear about modern PR tactics, community building as a part of your marketing strategy, and how to make a book a best-seller.

Sponsored by Riverside — It’s what I use to record both my podcasts, Everything Is Marketing and Default Alive, but I was using Riverside long before they became a sponsor. I used to use Zoom until someone interviewed me using Riverside and I knew I had to switch. I love it because they take local recordings on each side, which gives you a reliable connection and the highest quality audio and video tracks. Separate HD recordings, an iOS app, automatic transcription… It’s made specifically for podcasters. Folks like Guy Raz from How I Built This, Courtland Allen from Indie Hackers, and even Hillary Clinton uses it if you can believe it. Check them out and all the other features they have at riverside.fm

🙌 Thank Bryan for coming on the show with a quick tweet
