What's up Rock Nation, today we welcome Kane Kallaway. Kane is a short form content master, and has documented his journey of going full time as a creator for a full year through his weekly newsletter, Blueprint. Kane is one of the most analytical guests we've had on when it comes to content, and truly knows what makes a piece of content viral. We love his thought process when it comes to being a creator, and how he looks at his journey in decades, instead of months or years.
