Podcast Episode 287 - Dakota, Thank You

2min

Dakota Robertson is a writer and entrepreneur. He’s built a 100,000+ person audience on both Twitter and Instagram in less than two years. But what’s even crazier is how his upbringing has shaped him to create this reality.

In this conversation, we spoke about how growing up without a father has shaped him, how to be a better writer, and what he’d recommend to other entrepreneurs just getting started online. He even called this the greatest podcast he’s ever done.
