Hey all,

Looking to get more sales from your content? You’ll want to make sure to tune into this episode.

I had the pleasure and privilege of interviewing Chris Marr for this one! Chris is the founder and driving force behind the Content Marketing Academy, the UK’s largest membership organization of its type. His work has helped countless businesses grow through content marketing. His drive comes from a desire to help people break free from the world of interruption marketing—and I’m beyond thrilled to have been able to chat with him about content marketing!

We went deep into understanding the purpose of content marketing when it comes to guiding your potential customers through their questions and concerns as they get to learn about the problem they have. Can’t wait for you to hear this!
