Nerding Out: Unmasking Felicia Day’s Internet Legacy and Productivity Hacks


Listen Later

Welcome to episode 154 of Crowdfunding Nerds! I'm your host, Sean, flying solo today while Andrew and the rest of the team enjoy a post-Thanksgiving break. Ever felt weird on the internet? Well, according to Felicia Day, "You're Never Weird on the Internet". In today's episode, we delve deep into her book, uncovering the journey of her creation, "The Guild", and the early adoption of the internet in her family, influenced by her military grandfather.


We'll explore the four productivity principles she shares, and learn how to create low-budget films that still wow the audience. We'll also discuss the art of marketing, using the unique approach of "The Guild" as a case study. And for those of you wondering about Facebook ads, there's a little something for you too.

So buckle up and let's get nerdy!
