Entrepreneurial Education: I host PressIQ Radio, a weekly podcast where I bring together the best business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors to discuss the challenges they've overcome on their journey towards entrepreneurial success. Join our live talk show every week to discover how the best business leaders reach new heights. I started hosting PressIQ Radio because I was frustrated with the way that business success stories were being told. I've learned that there are usually deeper and more compelling stories that led the most successful entrepreneurs to where they are today, and those stories help growing entrepreneurs develop the skills to continue to grow their business. Financial Content Marketing: I understand business and finance, and I create content that has an outsized impact on the bottom line. I recently wrote the business plan for a web startup that helped the founders raise almost $500,000 within a few weeks. I enjoy speaking with smart organizations and talented indivuals about their content marketing projects.
