On today's episode I talk to Stefanie Sword-Williams, founder of 'F*ck Being Humble, who shares her unique business and journey from the advertising world to entrepreneurship. We discuss the challenges and triumphs of building a provocative brand, the importance of self-promotion, and the value of community engagement.
We had a fascinating chat about pricing and the need for creativity around getting paid, as well as in your marketing, especially on a budget, and the significance of warm outreach in business development and how Stef learned to turn cold outreach into much more valuable warm outreach. This episode brings valuable insights for aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners.
