Alex and Brian sit down with Kane Kallaway to discuss the secrets to his success after just 1 year of full-time content creation (and why he doesn't care about going viral anymore). They discuss the value of an ENGAGED audience for any entrepreneur or business, the importance of "content minutes", if high production quality REALLY matters, and the pros and cons of building in public and sharing your secret sauce. If you're thinking of starting to create content for yourself or your brand, you can't afford to miss this episode.
