031 - The Content King with Neil Patel

Episode Summary

This week I'm excited to share my conversation with the legendary Neil Patel - the trailblazing marketing guru- founder of Neil Patel Digital and CEO of epic keyword research tool- Uber Suggest. In this enlightening interview, we learn that Neil is more of an entrepreneur than a marketer, the power of storytelling, Neil’s point of view on values, and why hiring 10x talent is the key to scaling. Neil also gets real about one of his greatest setbacks- and the gifts this million-dollar mistake gave him. This show has a lot to offer anyone interested in entrepreneurship, marketing, how and why building robust team cultures is so important, and of course, Neil’s truly unique personal success story.
