ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Scott is a passionate entrepreneur who changed vocations from sales in the automotive industry to operating Jiu-Jitsu schools. He's now a black belt, and has two schools in two cities with over 100 students. Scott continues to show the characteristics of a self-starter; that is, to practice the discipline needed to succeed. Being an entrepreneur is hard. As hard as it is to spell it…seriously, try without autocorrect. Anyways, on this episode of the NerdBrand Podcast, we’re discussing the characteristics of being an entrepreneur vs. being just an “idea” person. Scott has a great story of going from corporate sales to being a successful business owner -- starting with a mere $385.

Zach Snyder Justice League Cut and Brand Expansion

On this episode of the NerdBrand Podcast we’re talking about Brand Expansion, Social Signals, and the Zach Snyder Justice League cut! NerdTalk What is Brand Expansion? hint: I kinda made it up. But, essentially, pushing your brand into new realms. Tips to do that: Take a look at where you are. Do you really know your audience and are you connecting? What is the overall cost now for your brand, and what are you prepared to spend to expand? Launch softly, and learn from what doesn’t work. Not all failures are things you can’t learn from. Zach Snyder Justice League Cut #1 Did DC take a look at where they are? #2 – does DC really know their audience? TV and Cinema are not the same, so the success of CW can’t be used to define success or failure of Cinema. #3 What has it cost them? There’s more than money at stake. #4 How did they handle the launches (social media, video, ads)?

(why) is it the hardest to write content for your own company? Here’s a break down of some of our thoughts on this: Because writing about yourself for people who are honestly humble hate giving themselves praise. Some may think too much of themselves when writing (not being in an arrogant way), and not about the customers they want. So they’ve never thought too much how to communicate strictly by copy. It’s hard to write high level about what you do without jargon. If you like this episode please leave a comment below, and tell your friends about it!
