Are you looking for a new and effective way to market your business? Or would you welcome some business coaching from experienced professionals? If so, listen in and learn from today’s episode of Financial Karma, an experimental episode, recorded at the DC Podfest, where podcasters come together to celebrate and share what they do and to learn from each other.
Today’s guest and co-host is Shawn Rubbin. Shawn and host, Deb Williams, have gone from being baseball moms together, twenty years ago, to becoming best friends and earnest supporters of each other in business. Both are big believers in karma. They have learned that the challenges of the past are the very things that are the indicators of today’s success. Shawn has been a creative professional for more than thirty years. She has gone from print to web, with everything in between. She’s an internet interpreter, a digital trouble shooter and a creative disrupter. She is currently working on a project to help promote podcasting. These are short promo videos of animated audio. Shawn believes that this style will help podcasters to get their word seen. Join Deb and Shawn today as they go about Disrupting Business As Usual.
