36.45 – Question of the Week for Social Status

Two great questions of the week this week. Chris Mc Tye asks "Damo is it true that you have had to sign a waiver to not disclose what goes on in the hub ? If so how does this sit with you and what if there is a major issue that occurs in the hub will you be silent?" and Andrew Dowling asks "When did you guys first meet, and what were your first impressions of the other?".

That’s our Question of the Week for Social Status. Social Media marketing is more important than ever and if your business needs social media marketing, Social Status are offering fifty 50% off to any Sounding Board listener. Visit their website HERE.
