This week I'm joined by Marvin Abbey, Events Entrepreneur and 1/3 of the podcast trio 3 Shots of Tequila.

We talk about back in the day, how each member in #3ShotsofTequila established their following before the podcast, the importance of managing your image on social media, Marvin's Instagram posting strategy, his worst Xmas gift ever and to end the podcast we did a mini slow-jam clash answering the question; who really is the "King of R&B".

#ReDesignedPod Episode 6

This week I'm joined by Emmanuel Akintaro, Co-Founder of London Web Design Agency Happy2Host. His roster of clients include the likes of Not3s, Maleek Berry, and Premiership footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to name a few.

We talk about how the agency was conceived, and in an age where we spend less time on personal brand websites and more on social media, we discuss the relevancy of a self hosted website compared to social media sites. We also have a general chit-chat about quick social media fame and how it's creating pop culture icons and new celebrities.

Other points of reference in this episode...
