Today my guest is Kyle Hamilton of Birr Agency (www.wearebirr.com). Kyle drops some great tips on content marketing based on his knowledge and advanced experiences through his agency work. Kyle's nugget about not being shy, and putting yourself out there was a highlight of today's episode as it is a consistent reminder we all need, whether we are a Sole Proprietor or running a Multi-Million Dollar Corporation. Controlling the outcome is like herding cats, or having expectations of people in general. It's simply useless and will rarely (if ever) work. What DOES work is having structure and consistency. Kyle breaks down a lot of this for us today. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/makingsenseofsocialmedia/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/makingsenseofsocialmedia/support
