John Ferrara is an Instagram expert, strategist and philosopher. With  over 6 years of experience, John has helped thousands of entrepreneurs  grow their business using Instagram.         When I interview guests on my podcast, I rarely hear something  completely unfamiliar to me about Instagram. When I interviewed John, he  said something about IGTV stats that I never heard before – and my first  thought was that John must be wrong. I was thinking I should interrupt  to correct him, but my brain said “what if he’s right? You don’t know  everything.” I’m so glad I didn’t say anything because John was right.  There’s a really interesting IGTV stat you can check that I did not know  existed.         In this episode, John and I talk about the right mindset for growing on  Instagram, and he explains the methodology behind his Masterclass.  John’s Masterclass is designed around 7 Laws will help you attract more  clients, engage with your ideal customers and get you paid without  needing more followers. You can find the 7 Laws of Instagram at the link  below.         Connect with John at:         https://www.instagram.com/johnferrara         http://www.johnferrara.com/7laws
