PROFITABLE TALKS...

In this episode of The Profitable Creative, host Christian Brim speaks with Joshua Thompson of Bright Beam SEO about the intricacies of local SEO, the evolution of marketing strategies, and the importance of specialization in business. Joshua shares his journey from financial services to SEO, the challenges he faced in growing his agency, and the personal growth that comes with entrepreneurship. The conversation emphasizes the need for businesses to define their target markets, the significance of saying no to opportunities that dilute focus, and the realization that control is often an illusion in the entrepreneurial journey.
