#17 - Dakota Robertson - Growing an Audience, Authenticity, and Being a "Chad"

Dakota Robertson is a writer on social media. Dakota has amassed a personal brand following with over 180k Twitter followers and 196k Instagram followers in just over a year. His writing consists of self-improvement content, advice for people in their 20s, as well as writing tips. Dakota also founded a social media marketing agency called "Growth Ghosts," where he helps entrepreneurs and influencers build personal brands.

 In this episode, we talked about how much Dakota's life has changed in the past year, building an audience with authenticity, what a typical day in his life looks like, and of course, pineapple pizza. This was a super fun conversation, I think you'll think the same.
