Q: What would you say are the key components of growth in such a short time, and how do you think about platform differences?

How Josh Gale Grew His Audience to 1.2M+ in Under a Year by Leading with Storytelling

Q: Take us back to the moment where you decided, hey, I'm going to go in on this as a content business, because it was a big pivot for you.

Why Personality Is the New Competitive Advantage with Sam Vander Wielen

Q: Tell me a little bit about your book and why you felt this topic was important to write about.
