Plus, hear his thoughts on the importance of a proper financial education and seeking help in the most critical aspects of life. ---------- WWW.SEANJANTZ.COM

In this episode, you'll hear from web design strategist and YouTuber Wes McDowell.

About a year ago, Wes dropped nearly all of his efforts on everything else he was doing on social media, including his podcast, and went 100% all in on YouTube and hired three part-time editors to update the quality of his videos. Because of this laser-dialed focus, Wes recently crossed 200,000 subscribers. He's now getting pitched brand deals & sponsorships, and the sales of his programs have never been higher.

Wes shares his story about how he got his start in online business and why he pivoted from an agency brand to his personal brand.

We talk about lead magnets, deadline funnels, and email marketing strategies.
