Today I’m chatting with Julz West, who is possibly one of the most positive and uplifting people I have ever met. Having taught himself to write songs in his teens, he started out on Youtube and has amassed a huge following on social media. In the past he has provided backing vocals for artists, such as Ed Sheeran, but now he is paving the way for himself.   He speaks Spanish and Japanese and leverages his languages to boost his fanbase in those countries. He’s quite the hit with the Japanese fangirls ;-) I can tell you personally that he has some huge plans — and he’s incredibly entrepreneurial.    In this episode you will learn about: 

• How to overcome any obstacle
• How to strategically grow a fanbase/following
• How to exude positivity
• How to engage with a celebrity the right way (feat. Justin Bieber story)
• Why you should think big
