Marketing Podcast with Augie Johnston

In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, I interview Augie Johnston. Augie is a 35-year-old ex-YouTuber, former professional basketball player, turned entrepreneur. He is currently making waves in the video editing industry with a start-up called Vidchops.

Key Takeaway:

Video is an incredibly powerful medium that helps you build authority in your niche and connect with your audience on a personal level. But… is video right for your business?
