I have left so much money on the table because I&#8217;m introverted and culturally, I hate being the center of attention. This may seem counter-intuitive coming from a guy who speaks in front of thousands of people, but I am severely lacking in the art of self-promotion.<\/p>\n<p>This brings me to the topic of the new Marketing Companion podcast, and you are going to love this.<\/p>\n<p>My co-host is Amanda Russell, who went from star athlete (no self-promotion) to YouTube star (tons of self-promotion) to a potential reality TV star (so much self-promotion that she quit) and now an academic where self-promotion is loathed &#8230; and yet she&#8217;s an influencer and author, expected to do self-promotion.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s complicated.<\/p>\n<p>We both bare our souls on this show and talk about the weird realities of self-promotion. I hope this discussion will help you strike the right balance in your life!<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/marketingcompanion\/Amanda-FINAL.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click on this link to listen to hear Episode 251<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>Other ways to enjoy our podcast<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Try this! \u201cAlexa, play the latest episode of The Marketing Companion.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-marketing-companion\/id663933566\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to download the latest episode or subscribe on iTunes<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Listen to us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/the-marketing-companion-29468476\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iHeart Radio<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Find us on\u00a0Google Play<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/s?fid=46788&amp;refid=stpr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find the podcast on Stitcher<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Complete\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/businessesgrow.com\/podcast-the-marketing-companion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marketing Companion Episode Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Please support our extraordinary sponsor.
