047: The Smart, Unconventional Truths Of Traffic Growth w/Corbett Barr

I asked Corbett how he originally connected with ‘influencers’ like Pat Flynn, John Lee Dumas and Andrew Warner. His answer was so interesting, I’ve been thinking about it all week – and frankly – it’s changed my mindset about marketing, podcasting and even business.
And that’s what I think is so great about this discussion. It’ll get you thinking differently and with fresh ideas about your marketing and content creation.
Enjoy 🙂
