On the show this week is Bryan Kramer. We’ve been friends for years, and have seen the changes in social media marketing from what used to be seen as a marketing tool to people actually wanting to communicate with each other, and how moving from the hustle of a marketing agency has changed his outlook on work and life.
Bryan speaks frankly about what it’s like to go from the hectic world of the hustle and chase of running a digital marketing agency of 17 years that was really just not healthy.
He took a scary yet freeing leap of faith to a new model of working that brings him to a happier, more joyful place working with individual leaders as a full-time coach.
Now, with a new perspective on the potential for leaders to enact change, he’s thinking about how we leaders can create trust with our listeners and readers in the age of automation and AI.
We also touched on the realities of starting a new business today. Building a website is no guarantee for business, you’ve got to reach out to real people to get things started.
