“First, think about what’s gonna get you excited because you’re gonna be talking for hours with people about this stuff. So you have to be excited about it. You have to know the space enough where you have thoughtful conversations if you’re going to be inviting guests onto your podcast.” (10:21) (Anna)
“I was working at a company and I thought, ‘I know I’m doing marketing, but I’m looking for a different kind of marketing.’ And so that’s when I went to work in the startup world and I immediately loved it. I loved how impactful it could be right away. I loved how messy it could be and I loved what marketing meant at a startup.” (12:42) (Anna)
“Being strategic, being more focused, I knew that I wanted to do that right away. So, for me, for my business it was figuring out who is my target buyer, what do they care about, what problems do they have? And I’m kind of close to that already because I am a Marketer at a startup.” (18:27) (Anna)
“The most important thing for content creation and creating awareness around your business or product is finding out what your target audience cares about, what is the actual content your gonna give them and what channels.” (24:18) (Anna)
“I wish I had access to a network of people that work in startups and are in marketing soI could ask them questions. And now I actually can because I have a platform.”(37:08)(Anna)
