This week, I’m sharing a recent conversation with Justin Moore, a friend of the podcast. Justin has been on the show several times, most recently in May. He’s a member of The Lab, the founder of Creator Wizard, and THE guy to learn sponsorship strategy from.

Justin is making some big moves – next year, he’s publishing his first book AND he’s hosting an in-person sponsorship summit. When we were at Craft + Commerce back in June, he and I took some time to talk about how I’d approach that event if I were him. This was originally part of HIS Creator Wizard podcast.
