Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit? Then this episode of The Stocki Exchange Marketing Show is for you! John is joined by Troy Daily of Daily Medias, Create TC, & more and Lance Hill of High Five Threads and Forward Inking to talk about marketing as an entrepreneur. These guys are two of the best in town, so you know it’s going to be a great conversation!

John talks with his guests about the role marketing plays in expanding a small business and how vital word of mouth can be to growth. Troy and Lance also discuss how personal branding plays into being an entrepreneur, using social media to promote their brands, and how to create a two-way conversation with their followers. John also asks the two how they determine the split between marketing locally and marketing to a wider audience, and new trends they’re interested in.

During One Word Answers, Troy and Lance detail what they would do with $10,000 to spend on marketing. Later, in Ask The Stocki Exchange, John talks SEO and the process behind it, building relationships, and getting a leg up in the digital world. At the end of the show, we tell you where you can find our guests online, and we have a whole slew of High Five Threads gear to giveaway!
