For the past 6 months or so, I’ve worked on a series of podcasts for a series I’m calling the “Brand Building” series. Basically the goal it to have conversations with online influencers who’ve built sustainable business and are making money. Alex from Create and Go was a lot of fun to talk to and I think that his wisdom and experiences will be help too!
