TMBA539: Weathering the Storm

Podcast 34:01| Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment

One of the silver linings to the strange times that we’ve been living through in the past few weeks, is that we’ve been able to reach out to some of the brightest minds in our community and get a sense of how they have been responding to the crisis.

Travis Jamison is no stranger to longtime listeners of this show. Travis is a bonafide SEO expert and the founder of Smash Digital. He has also successfully exited a business for 8 figures and is a very active investor as well.

Travis recently shared something of an essay on Twitter that we felt captured a lot of our feelings about the current situation that we are all facing.

We invited Travis on to the show today to explain those thoughts a bit further and to talk about how we might survive the economic downturn that so many of us are bracing for in the coming months.
