This one is for all you gritty entrepreneur type people...like myself...who love long form talks on successful business tactis. This is actually a follow up podcasts to an intial interview I did back in October. Chris Short, Maddy Krause, and Forrest Shcaffer from Dragon360 (recently rebranded from DragonSearch) sat down with me to discuss the results of their ongoing social media marketing campaign that they put together for their Haunted House Entertainment client. The numbers are nuts! They started off with 1000% return on ad spend in October, and it just skyrocketed from there. Hope you enjoy this one, and I hope it opens your eyes to the results that a well executed social media marketing campaign can do for you as a business owner.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Justin Wozniack. Owner of the Facebook Page Paintings By Justin with over 23k followers. A purely talented artist from New Jersey who is known for completing the most visually amazing pastel paintings you will see in just under 15-20 minutes time span. And by the way, all of his followers were organic. Not a cent paid. After seeing his work, I was compelled to reach out and invite him on the show. Justin loves what he does and it has recently opened up so many opportunities for him to continue on with his newfound passion for painting. He also drops some tips on how to pursue your passion and follow your dreams and goals, so that you do get to live the creative centered life that you want. Hope you enjoy this one!

I just wanted to recap my week and explain my thoughts on today's Startup Culture. 

There is no doubt in my mind that there is a tech buddle going on right now. I'm not sure when it's going to burst, but the fact that there is so much money in the hands of these young entrepreneurs that think that they have the idea for the next major app or platform is scary to think about.

Where is all this money coming from? And why is it so easy to get millions of dollars in funding just for an idea? I try to answer that question in this episode.
