It takes a lot of time, effort, and energy to write a good piece of content. So why do most people hit “publish” and let their word baby fade into the vast void of the internet?
Ross Simmonds is here to help you change that. He’s teaching us how to better leverage the content we create and get more out of every piece you publish.
Ross is a digital marketing strategist and entrepreneur who is passionate about technology, remote work, good people, good coffee and storytelling.
His writing and coaching has been featured on Forbes, Venture Beat, Huffington Post, Mashable, CBC and more.
He’s the founder of Hustle & Grind (an eCommerce store for entrepreneurs) and Foundation Marketing — a B2B content marketing agency.
Ross has also written two books — Stand Out and The Hustle Manifesto.
PLUS – he also sits on the board of directors for Volta Labs, Black Business Initiative, and the Boys & Girls Club of Preston, as well as the board of trustees for Phoenix Youth Programs.
Today we’re talking content distribution, business mindset, and leaving a legacy with your writing. This was an exciting and insightful conversation that we’ve been waiting to share with you. Enjoy!
