As entrepreneurs, we are pioneers who dream of and create things that do not yet exist. It’s a given that anyone who chooses this path will be doubted and protested against. Don’t let this doubt deter you, instead let it fuel you.

I often hear entrepreneurs say, "I don’t want to get bogged down in the detail, I want to be the visionary.”

While this should be your ultimate goal, it takes years to get to a point where you’re not involved in the day-to-day. At the beginning of your journey you need to live in the details. You need to know every aspect of your business, better than everyone else.

Success isn’t just defined by what we KNOW, it’s defined by what we DO. Reading all the personal development books in the world won’t help if you don’t have the work ethic to back up your knowledge. Personal development vs. work ethic? You decide.

In this episode I’m joined by Ryan Bonnici, Director of Marketing for HubSpot, to talk about creating compelling content that will enable you to convert, close and delight your audience.

We take questions on:

- Marketing a “boring” business

- How entrepreneurs can find time to create content

- Getting ROI on that content

We have a business world that is obsessed with professionalism - saying the right things, wearing the right suits, and doing what is expected. It’s all manufactured, surface level plastic. Today I talk about being unprofessional: being you, being real and being different, to create brands and advertising that cut through all the noise. #AskJackD

In this episode I talk about when, how and what not to do when bringing on your very first employee, and ultimately how to set up an ecosystem to build a foundation of a business that can scale.

Developing your personal values is incredibly important for your own personal development and growth. In this episode I talk about how you can develop these values and how to live in alignment with them so that you can live a life that is truly and uniquely you.

What makes a great leader? I've spent a lot of time studying of the greats of history... Einstein, Jobs, Michelangelo, Mandela, MLK, Branson; they all come from different eras and industries, but I think there are three core things they all have in common. Today I share those those three traits with you.
