Episode 099: Clay Hebert - How You Should Always Introduce Yourself

Clay Hebert is a giving leader who has experienced immense success in multiple life categories.   He has personally helped me in many ways along this podcasting journey.  I particularly enjoyed the part of our conversation where we riffed on his famous “6 Word Introduction.”  I put Clay on the spot to help me answer the question (that we all get daily), “What do you do?”  I think you’ll find a lot of use about of this live one on one workshop style conversation and it certainly is applicable to your life.

Clay Hebert is a marketing strategist and the founder of Crowdfunding Hacks, where he helps entrepreneurs and creatives fund their dreams. As one of the world’s leading crowdfunding experts, Clay has helped over 150 entrepreneurs raise over $50 million on popular crowdfunding platforms Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
