343. Sean McDonald: How to Create a Content-Based Marketing and Sales Strategy
Sean McDonald is the Content Programme Director at BoardPro, a Board Management Software & Board Portal. Prior to joining BoardPro, Sean founded Sales System, as well as MOBIT Messaging and Marketing Automation (which was acquired by Engage Media LLC in 2018). What I find most interesting about Sean's approach to marketing and sales is choosing to build a content-based business that does not rely on ads and direct sales alone. Sean organizes and hosts weekly webinars at BoardPro (https://www.boardpro.com/resource-centre/webinars) that invites engaging conversation with industry experts, providing strategies and tactics for people in the industry. The consistency and quality of these webinars really help BoardPro stand out from the crowd, and is also what connected us. We are going to unveil exactly how Sean goes about creating a content strategy that works! This conversation is not just for tech and software companies, but any business that wishes to learn how to get started in creating a content-based marketing and sales strategy.

339. Jeffrey Shaw: How to Live and Celebrate a Self-Employed Life
Jeffrey Shaw is often described as an authority and advocate for self-employed business owners, valued for his actionable and “in the trenches” approach to achieving business and life success. Why shouldn’t he be? How many people can say they’ve never worked for anyone else? Selling eggs door-to-door at 14 years old led to a lifetime of self-employment. In his twenties, he built a portrait photography business and became one of the most sought-after portrait photographers for affluent families in the U.S. for more than three decades. His portraits have been on the Oprah Show, CBS News, featured in People and O Magazine and hang at Harvard University. Today, Jeffrey is the author of LINGO and The Self-Employed Life, host of The Self-Employed Life podcast with nearly two-million downloads, and founder of the Self-Employed Business Institute. His TEDx Talk is featured on TED.com, he’s a LinkedIn Learning instructor, contributor to Entrepreneur Magazine and speaks at association events, entrepreneurial groups, and conferences.
