We’ve talked about networking in the past and expanding your inner circle, but a key part of that is what happens after you’ve met someone new. Today we’ll talk about building relationships in three different areas with clients, sponsors and peers. These can be some of the most fruitful relationships to grow yourself and your business. We are firm believers in the “you are a product of your environment” and a lot of that comes from who you surround yourself with.

To repost or not to repost that is the question. There’s been an explosion of reposting accounts on Instagram in the last 6 months and some conversations cropping up about the place of reposting in an Instagram feed. We’ll look at both sides of the conversation, talk about how we use reposting now and in the past and give you some things to think about as you decide what’s right for you.

Today we’ll be picking the brain of one of the most well known video creators in our space, Bob Clagett at I Like to Make Stuff. We dive into a ton of topics from his beginnings to his sprint to go full time and how he’s stayed organized and consistently putting out new content weekly for the past 3 years. And to cap it off he gives some insights on managing life as a business owner and a family man.

Bob got his business started in 2013 and since jumping onto Youtube he has gained over 1.7 MILLION subscribers and continues to be one of the largest influencers in the maker community. Bob has been a huge inspiration to myself and Brad for years now and we’re super excited to have him on the show.
