GET DOING THINGS.

Mustafa is another one. I was thankful to make friends with him early in his Twitter "career", and it's been amazing to see his progress.

We're going to talk about what Mustafa is good at: audience-building and the creator economy.

Mustafa is a creator primarily on Twitter right now who has just released his first product: "Cold Email That Works".

I think we ended up chatting for about 2 hours.

After that I knew I needed to return the favour so we could have Paul and Craig Round 2.

Paul is a teacher, blogger, podcaster, and documentarian of the world’s best online courses and communities.

Tom is the first person I've ever interviewed on the podcast with a Yorkshire accent and he's also from Barnsley.

He was my original inspiration to start taking Twitter seriously in February 2020 and he continues to be an inspiration with the way he approaches business and promoting himself online.

We'll be chatting about how to build your expertise and promoting yourself online: something Tom has become an expert at.

Tom is a web development consultant and freelancing mentor working with people around the world from my home office in Wakefield (near Leeds), UK.

Arvid, Jamie and I enjoyed chatting so much about audience building last time that we thought we'd do it again!

This time we're talking about selling to your audience. Once you've built a sustainable audience, what do you do next? Should you feel guilty? Should you use Gumroad? How do do it and not feel like a scam?

Arvid writes about building sustainable businesses at The Bootstrapped Founder.

I first discovered Leon last year on Twitter and became fascinated by his insights into self-improvement. He provides excellent value on Twitter and I highly recommend you following.

We've had this queued up for a while now and I've been excited. It's extra-special because this is the 200th episode!

Leon helps entrepreneurs transform their performance using real data and 2x, 5x or even 10x their businesses in 3 months.

Norm is back!

Norm was previously one of my first guests to my new conversations format and I've been trying to line up another chat with him since. Norm is everything podcasts...but today I want to talk to him more about polymaths.

Maybe a bit about podcasting too. And maybe Clubhouse.

Norm interviews people, builds communities and creates things. He's Ex-Head of Marketing at a Japanese FinTech company.

Norm is the the host of Podlovers Asia, RoamFM, AntiFool, Tempered Fables and other shows.

He provides freelance work for podcasting companies as a rainmaker (copywriter, digital marketer, producer, etc.).

He's quickly developed a great eye for design and he suggested we do the podcast slightly differently tonight—live streaming some visual-making!

We spoke about how Leslie got into making design work, what's next for him, and we made some live visuals.

I discovered Brendan on Twitter a few months ago after he said very nice things about my visuals. We chatted a few times and then I discovered he shared really useful insights into social and influencer marketing regularly.

I had to take this opportunity to get him on the podcast.

He's been working in social media & influencer marketing for 15 years. Brendan was among the first to do influencer marketing on YouTube back in 2006. He's worked on award winning and innovative social campaigns for brands such as Mountain Dew, Unilever, Amazon, and The Olympics.

He was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2012 and is a member of Vidcon’s Advisory Board.

I was chatting to Arvid and Jamie on Twitter when Alex Paval chimes in.

"I know this is too early, but you guys are a trio I would love to hear together"

I agreed. So we made it happen.
