Big Tech is moving fast on AI. But who's watching out for the rest of us? Aza Raskin, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, has spent years sounding the alarm about where the race to build powerful AI is actually taking us. He joins Rapid Response to expose the incentive structures quietly pushing Silicon Valley toward dangerous territory, and to make the case that it's not too late to change course. Raskin also unpacks the significance of Pope Leo XIV's sweeping new encyclical on AI, what China's AI priorities reveal about the global race, and why the hidden assumptions baked into AI systems may be the most underestimated risk of all.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I reconnect with entrepreneur and visionary builder Chuck Balsamo for the first time in five years, and this conversation dives deep into productivity, focus, entrepreneurship, family, legacy, and the systems required to build something truly meaningful. Chuck shares what life has looked like during the last several years of building new ventures, staying intensely focused on growth, and learning how to protect both his energy and his time while still showing up for the people who matter most. We talk extensively about the importance of building "fortresses" of productivity by intentionally designing environments that reduce distraction, minimize decision fatigue, and create opportunities for deep work. Chuck explains how time blocking, routines, boundaries, and intentional calendar management have become essential tools for both business success and personal peace. Drawing from concepts popularized by Daniel H. Pink around willpower, discipline, and habits, Chuck breaks down why most people fail to protect their focus and how entrepreneurs can create systems that allow them to perform at a higher level consistently without burning out. One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Chuck's perspective on legacy. As his businesses have grown, he's become increasingly aware that every "yes" comes at the expense of something else, often time with family. We discuss the emotional realities of entrepreneurship, the tradeoffs that come with ambition, and why saying "no" is one of the most important skills anyone can develop. Chuck also introduces his newest venture, uSpace, a premium backyard remote workspace designed to create an undistracted environment for focused work, creativity, and productivity. He shares the origin story behind the company, the inspiration for the design, pricing and financing options, tax and ROI considerations, and his long-term vision for scaling the business into a potentially billion-dollar brand. We also talk about: The "sprinter mindset" for work productivity Why environment shapes performance How distraction is quietly destroying creativity Why one great idea can completely change your life The importance of protecting mental space Entrepreneurship and ego Health scares that shifted Chuck's perspective on life and empathy This episode is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs, creators, executives, remote workers, parents, and anyone trying to create more focus, balance, and intentionality in their life. In This Episode, You Will Learn: How Chuck Balsamo structures his days for maximum productivity Why creating a distraction-free environment matters The power of time blocking and hard boundaries How to reduce decision fatigue and improve focus Why saying "no" is critical for long-term success The emotional tradeoffs entrepreneurs face How environment impacts performance and creativity The origin story behind uSpace Why focused work in short bursts is more effective How health scares changed Chuck's perspective on life and legacy Timestamps 00:00 Chuck Returns 01:19 Five Years of Building Behind the Scenes 04:39 Calendars, Time Blocking, and Focus 15:50 The Science of Timing, Habits, and Willpower 21:24 Building "Fortress" Environments for Productivity 25:34 How One Great Idea Can Change Everything 30:18 Ego, Purpose, and Entrepreneurship 32:21 The Sprinter Mindset for Work 41:42 Family, Community, and Balance 48:35 Success Habits and Protecting Space 53:58 Growth Through Health Scares 56:33 Gratitude and Final Thoughts

In this episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into one of the most debated topics in entrepreneurship: work-life balance. Inspired by comments from Poppy co-founder Allison Ellsworth about the sacrifices required to build a billion-dollar company, Travis breaks down why success looks different for everyone and why blindly following someone else's blueprint can lead to regret. This episode explores how entrepreneurs can align their priorities with their personal goals while still building meaningful wealth and freedom. On this episode we talk about: Whether building a billion-dollar company requires sacrificing work-life balance The difference between lifestyle businesses and venture-scale companies How to define success based on your personal goals instead of someone else's Why entrepreneurs should prioritize their time according to seasons of life Balancing business growth, family relationships, and personal health Top 3 Takeaways Your definition of success determines how you should structure your business and life. Not everyone wants—or needs—to build a billion-dollar company. Priorities should be aligned with your current season of life, but neglecting health or family completely often leads to long-term regret. Entrepreneurship should create freedom, not become a more demanding version of a traditional job unless that's intentionally part of your goal. Notable Quotes "You can't have three things that are equally number one priorities. That's not how a number one priority works." "Ruthlessly prioritize against your goal." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems when you've got money in the bank."

Have you ever reached a point where everything looks successful on the outside, but deep down you know something needs to change? In this inspiring episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison sits down with entrepreneur, peak performance coach, and Relaunch creator Hilary DeCesare to explore what happens when life calls you into your next evolution. Hilary shares the powerful story behind her own "I'm done" moment—a pivotal experience that forced her to confront burnout, redefine her identity, and ultimately create the Relaunch Method that has helped thousands of women navigate major life transitions with confidence and intention. Together, Allison and Hilary discuss why so many high-achieving women feel stuck despite outward success, how identity shifts are often the missing piece in personal and professional growth, and why reinvention isn't about starting over—it's about building from the wisdom you've already earned. Hilary also walks Allison through her signature Tune In Process, a simple yet powerful framework that combines neuroscience, visualization, music, emotional alignment, and micro-actions to help women gain clarity, elevate their energy, and move toward their biggest goals. You'll also hear a fascinating conversation about manifestation, the Law of Attraction, The Secret, and how intentionality can help create opportunities that once seemed impossible. Whether you're navigating a career change, business growth, burnout, divorce, motherhood, or simply feeling called toward something more, this episode will remind you that you're not lost—and you're definitely not stuck. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why feeling frustrated is different from being stuck How to recognize when you're ready for a relaunch The hidden identity shifts behind major life transitions Hilary's 3HQ™ framework: Head, Heart & Highest Self The neuroscience behind her Tune In Process How music can help elevate your energy and performance Practical tools for overcoming fear and creating momentum The role manifestation and intentionality play in success Why reinvention is available at every stage of life How to build a life rich in purpose, impact, wealth, and fulfillment Connect with Hilary: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hilarydecesare/ Website: https://therelaunch.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/hilarydecesare/ https://www.facebook.com/TheReLaunchCo https://www.youtube.com/@hilarydecesare This episode is sponsored by AdventHealth for Women.

Entrepreneurship isn't freedom it's volatility, pressure, and constant uncertainty. Nathan Kaiser built 2bar Spirits by embracing that reality, not ignoring it. He breaks down why most people shouldn't start companies, what actually keeps a business alive, and how constraints, not capital, create better outcomes. This is a raw look at building something real in a crowded, unforgiving industry.  We also discuss: • Why starting a company is usually the wrong financial move  • How constraint beats capital in building a business • The myth of overnight success (and the Tito's example) • Why focus wins over product expansion • The real role of rejection in sales and growth • How long-term thinking applies to both whiskey and life Nathan Kaiser LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nckaiser/ 2bar Spirits: http://2barspirits.com Email: info@2barspirits.com Jason links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasoncavness Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejasoncavnessexperience/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jasoncavness Podcast: https://www.thejasoncavnessexperience.com Website: www.cavness.io

This week, we explore some contrasting opinions about artificial intelligence. Paul Downs has serious doubts that AI will ever have a significant impact on his business. Paul, who builds custom conference tables, says his business depends on something AI still lacks: real world experience. While AI can generate impressive images and concepts, he argues that it has no understanding of manufacturing constraints, material properties, production processes, or the capabilities of the people and machines that have to bring an idea to life. “An image of a thing that looks cool is not a design,” Paul says. “A design is a set of information that's informed by intelligence and experience.”Ted Wolf, who helps companies implement AI, agrees that AI can't replace the collective creativity and judgment of skilled people. But he believes Paul may be looking at the problem too broadly. Instead of asking whether AI can design and build custom furniture, Ted suggests breaking the workflow into smaller pieces and experimenting with targeted applications. “You know your business better than anybody else,” Ted tells Paul. “But don't look at the big picture and think that's the entire thing. There are many small pieces that people can start doing today.”The result is a thoughtful debate about one of the biggest questions facing small business owners: Is AI going to change everything, or are there businesses where human expertise will remain irreplaceable?Plus: Channon Kennedy shares what she learned from participating in a Goldman Sachs program for Black women entrepreneurs. And the owners discuss what debt can—and cannot—do for a business: “Funding does not fix a broken business model. It makes it die faster.”

On this episode of Escaping the Drift, we sit down with Dr. Robb Kelly: former Abbey Road session musician, PhD in psychology from Oxford, and the man often called the Gordon Ramsay of the addiction world.Before becoming one of the most sought after addiction specialists in the country, Robb played bass alongside Bowie, Queen, and Elton John, then watched it all disappear into a two bottle a day vodka habit that cost him his children, his homes, and twice cost him his life on the streets of Manchester.In this episode, Robb opens up about the rain soaked night that changed everything, the stranger named Derek who appeared 30 seconds after a desperate prayer, and the mentor named John who taught him the framework he still uses to heal patients today.We dive into why alcoholics are born and addicts are made, the three parts of the brain that operate differently in true alcoholism, and why he believes depression, PTSD, and addiction can be cured rather than just managed. He also breaks down the phone and dopamine epidemic destroying connection in homes everywhere and how to claw it back with simple boundaries.If you have ever felt like the world has written your story for you, this conversation will rewrite the page.

Ashley Stahl, career strategist, founder of Wise Whisper Agency, and speaker of one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time, joins the show to break down exactly how solopreneurs can build a powerful personal brand through speaking, without burning out or constantly performing online.In this episode, Ashley shares why "do what you love" is the wrong advice, how to identify your core values as a career filter, and why most people confuse credibility with authority (and which one actually gets you clients).What you'll learn:The difference between your skillset (the what) and your core values (the how), and why both matter for your businessWhy authority, not credibility, is what actually drives client growthThe "islands" framework for building a personal brand onlineHow to write a signature talk with original thinking, even if you've never been on a stageWhy a TEDx talk can generate opportunities for 15+ years after you give itThe structural formula Ashley's team uses to write talks (including word count, page count, and emotional arc)How focusing on one brand channel per year beats trying to be everywhere at onceConnect with Ashley:Website: wisewhisperagency.comBook a call: wisewhisperagency.com/calendarInstagram: @ashleystahl

In this episode, Shawn Lynch sits down with ER doctor turned serial entrepreneur Dr. Abdulla Kudrath to break down how one man built a portfolio of emergency rooms, a rooftop lounge, an imaging center, and a growing real estate empire. If you have ever wondered how high performers turn expertise into ownership, this conversation hands you the playbook in real time and shows you why your skills are worth far more than a paycheck.Shawn and Abdulla go deep on commercial real estate investing, from buying distressed industrial buildings at $50 per square foot to converting them into Class A flex space, understanding cap rates, carrying costs, and how actually to raise a building's value through occupancy. They get candid about why most doctors go broke in business, how to choose the right operator, the danger of ego, and the hard-won lessons that only come from getting beaten up like in kung fu. The conversation also covers AI and the future of work, raising kids without entitlement, the spilled milk approach to solving problems, and why traditional college may already be obsolete.If you are ready to think bigger about wealth, ownership, and building a life on your own terms, subscribe to the Official Success Formula channel for more conversations that give you a real advantage.

On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative professionals who turn ideas into impact. Today we're diving into music and business with Don Rodriguez — a former general contractor who left a 20-year career to pursue his passion for music… and ended up redesigning the record label model itself.Don's WebsiteDon on YouTubeDon's Facebook pageIntroductionDon Rodriguez is an 18-year entrepreneur and general contractor who walked away from a successful construction career after becoming burned out and disillusioned. He pivoted into music — not just as a creative outlet, but as a producer and founder of The I&I Music Studio, a recording studio, record label, and music publisher for independent artists.Drawing on two decades of business and contract experience, Don created a radically different label structure: one where artists own their masters and publishing, while the label generates its own revenue streams and collects points — flipping the traditional industry model on its head.Today, he's here to talk music, ownership, contracts, publishing, and how independent artists can thrive without giving away their future.1 — From Construction to CreationDon, you spent nearly two decades as a general contractor before pivoting into music full-time. What happened internally that made you leave that career — and how did music pull you into a new chapter? When you entered the music industry, what did you immediately see that didn't sit right with you?2 — Why Artists Still Need a LabelThere's a strong narrative right now that independent artists don't need record labels anymore. From your perspective, why is it still necessary for independent artists to have a label structure around them? What's the difference between an artist trying to build alone versus having the right kind of team behind them? • Spotlight on Lexsey (emerging pop star)3 — Flipping the Contract ModelYou've created what you describe as a complete 180 from how record contracts have operated for the last 70 years. Walk us through how your contract works — and why artist ownership of masters and publishing is so critical. How are traditional big-label contracts typically structured — and where do artists lose leverage? • Spotlight on the classical-to-fantasy-grunge artist4 — Publishing, Production & RevenueYou've said that music publishing is the key to making money in music. For listeners who aren't deep in the industry, what exactly is publishing — and why does it matter so much? In today's world of home studios and DIY production, why does an artist still need a producer and professional studio environment?5 — Building a Sustainable EcosystemOne of the most interesting parts of your model is that your label generates its own revenue instead of relying solely on artists' music. How does that work — and how does that change the power dynamic between label and artist?If an artist has already released music under a different structure, can they pivot into a more ownership-driven future? What's possible?We tie together all these themes:• Creative reinvention• Ownership vs exploitation• Entrepreneurship in music• Designing a better ecosystem• Artists as business partners

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Tiffany BusseyTitle: Director, Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC)Dr. Tiffany Bussey discusses how the Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center works to scale Black- and Brown-owned businesses, close the racial wealth gap, and intentionally connect entrepreneurs and workers to capital, contracts, and emerging industries, particularly in sustainability. Purpose of the Interview The interview serves to: Educate listeners about the systemic barriers facing Black entrepreneurs beyond access to capital. Highlight practical solutions—programs, partnerships, and ecosystems—that create real economic outcomes. Shift mindsets around entrepreneurship, risk, and opportunity, especially in underserved communities. Expose listeners to emerging, high-growth industries (e.g., sustainability, EVs, renewable energy) instead of oversaturated traditional businesses. Promote community-based economic ecosystems, particularly the collaboration between Morehouse, Goodwill, and corporate partners. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Entrepreneurship as a Tool for Closing the Wealth Gap Dr. Bussey positions entrepreneurship and business ownership as one of the most effective ways to generate long-term wealth in Black communities. The Center has supported 400+ scalable, mid-sized businesses, resulting in: 850+ jobs created $34M+ in new capital accessed $82M+ in new revenue generated Key insight: The problem isn’t a lack of capable Black businesses—it’s visibility, access, and opportunity. 2. “Access to Opportunity” Matters as Much as Capital While access to capital dominates the conversation, Dr. Bussey emphasizes access to contracts and decision-makers. MIEC programs are designed with opportunity partners (large corporations, general contractors, primes) so participants gain: Exposure to real contracts Understanding of supply chains Direct relationships with decision-makers Takeaway: Capital without revenue and customers won’t sustain a business. 3. The Three C’s of Business Growth Dr. Bussey outlines MIEC’s core framework: Capital – Funding and financial resources Connections – Two-way, relationship-based networks Contracts – Revenue-generating opportunities She stresses that connections only matter if relationships are mutual—it’s not enough to “know someone” unless they also understand your value. 4. Breaking Stereotypes About Black-Owned Businesses Dr. Bussey addresses harmful narratives around skill, readiness, and qualifications. She highlights intentional strategies to: Prepare businesses before opportunities arise Align training and recruitment with future industries Counter biases through performance, scale, and visibility Key idea: Preparation plus access dismantles bias. 5. Sustainability = One of the Largest Economic Opportunities Dr. Bussey reframes sustainability as an economic opportunity, not just an environmental issue: Electric Vehicles: ~$163B industry Green Construction: ~$324B industry Renewable Energy: ~$952B industry Sustainable Agriculture: ~$20B industry She urges listeners to stop defaulting to oversaturated businesses (e.g., nightclubs) and instead pursue industries that are expanding rapidly and globally. 6. Workforce Development + Business Development Must Align Goodwill provides free job training, certifications, and even stipends for individuals. Morehouse trains businesses that can hire those workers, creating a full economic loop. This ecosystem addresses two major barriers simultaneously: Human capital Business readiness Takeaway: Economic equity requires aligned systems, not isolated programs. 7. Entrepreneurship Is Rewarding—but Not Romantic Dr. Bussey demystifies entrepreneurship: It’s high-risk, exhausting, and statistically likely to fail early. Failure is part of the process, but historical and financial realities make risk harder for Black entrepreneurs. Ownership remains critical despite these challenges. Key message: Entrepreneurship is powerful, but it must be supported intentionally. Notable Quotes “Entrepreneurship and small businesses are one of the pathways to closing the racial income inequality gap.” “We don’t just provide technical assistance for technical assistance’s sake—this is about creating real opportunity.” “Capital dominates the conversation, but contracts are equally important.” “People don’t buy products or services. They buy solutions.” “We have to stop thinking only about what we feel we have access to.” “Sustainability is not one industry—it’s multiple trillion-dollar opportunities.” “Entrepreneurship is the most rewarding and the most fatiguing thing you’ll ever do.” Overall Impact The interview functions as both a masterclass and a call to action: For entrepreneurs: Think bigger, pursue scalable industries, and prepare for opportunity. For communities: Build ecosystems, not silos. For institutions and corporations: Inclusion requires intentional design. Dr. Tiffany Bussey presents a practical, data-backed roadmap for inclusive economic development—centered on ownership, access, and readiness. #STRAW #SHMS #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Strap on Your Boots, I talk about how artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing entrepreneurship, productivity, and the future of work. Over the last few years, I've watched the barriers to building businesses collapse in real time as AI tools dramatically accelerate research, design, marketing, coding, automation, and content creation. What once required teams of specialists can now often be prototyped by a single person working alone with the right systems and enough curiosity to experiment.I also explore the deeper implications behind this shift. While AI makes it easier to create and test ideas, it doesn't replace judgment, taste, emotional intelligence, or experience. I discuss the growing tension between efficiency and authenticity, the psychological impact AI is having on trust online, and why human relationships and reputation may become even more valuable in a world saturated with generated content. The conversation also touches on how AI could reshape software, education, entry-level jobs, and the structure of modern companies as intelligent systems increasingly coordinate work behind the scenes.

What if the stories you've dismissed as “not important enough” are actually the ones your audience needs most?Erin Mark and I explore why storytelling is the bridge between expertise and transformation and why audiences connect far more deeply with emotion, struggle, and humanity than with information alone. Erin shares how she took her deeply personal experience living with cystic fibrosis and transformed it into a keynote message about resilience, uncertainty, identity, and moving forward through change.We also talk about the surprising challenge many women face: not recognizing the power of their own stories because they've lived with them for so long.In this episode, we discuss:How to “universalize” your personal story so others see themselves in itWhy many women struggle to identify their most impactful storiesErin's “Story, Struggle, Solution” frameworkHow coaches can help uncover stories and themes you can't always see yourselfWhy you do not need a dramatic life story to become a compelling speakerHow storytelling can improve podcast interviews, presentations, and thought leadershipThe importance of becoming the messenger your audience needs at exactly the right momentWe also share details about our new Story Scoping coaching package and our upcoming in-person workshop in Orlando!About My Guest: At 35, Erin's life was coming to an end. She had entered end life stage cystic fibrosis: her lungs were failing, she was dying, and time was running out. While most people were training for their next promotion or milestone, she was training to die. And then, at the very last moment, everything changed – a breakthrough medication saved her life. That moment forced Erin into her most important pivot yet: learning how to live again. Her identity had been built around survival. Now, she had to rebuild her purpose, reshape her career, and discover what it meant to truly live. What she discovered is this: pivoting isn't a one-time act, it's a repeatable skill. Whether it's a reorg, a layoff, a leadership shift, or a personal loss, every “before and after” moment is a pivot point and it requires a new kind of leadership. Perfect for corporate teams, associations, and leadership conferences, Erin's keynotes are more than inspiration. They're a mindset reset and a tactical playbook for anyone navigating change or facing an uncertain next chapter.About Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox.

A retirement is a terrible thing to waste. Don’t just retire. Design your new phase of life – with intention. Our next groups start in September. The very early registration discount ends June 21st. Learn more. ________________________ Retirement rarely unfolds exactly as planned. For Jerry Goodstein, retirement began with a clear sense of direction and a meaningful endeavor. But unexpected challenges, a deeply emotional experience helping his daughter move across the country, and an encounter with the world of ADHD coaching changed everything. In this conversation, Jerry shares how his retirement story became less about executing a blueprint and more about learning how to “turn into the swerve”  by staying open to reinvention, purpose, lifelong learning, and becoming someone new later in life. This is a thoughtful conversation about identity, letting go, service, and the surprising ways purpose can evolve, over time and in ways you may not expect, after retirement. In This Conversation, You'll Learn Why God laughs at your retirement plans How unexpected “swerves” can open new directions in life The opportunities to repurpose your skills in retirement Why letting go of identity is often difficult for high achievers How lifelong learning can reignite energy, curiosity and engagement What coaching taught Jerry about listening and presence Why service became more important than living a life of leisure ___________________________ Bio Jerry Goodstein is Professor Emeritus, Carson College of Business, Department of Management, Information Systems, and Entrepreneurship at Washington State University. Dr. Goodstein received his Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley, and his MBA and BA in Economics and Geography from the University of California, Los Angeles. He conducted research and taught business ethics, leadership, and strategy at the undergraduate and graduate levels for over three decades at Washington State University and the University of Illinois. His research on restorative justice in organizations, corporate and stakeholder responsibility, and second chance hiring has been published in leading management and business ethics journals. He is co-editor, along with Dr. Mary Gentile, of Giving Voice to Values: An Innovation and Impact Agenda, published in 2021. After retiring from Washington State University in May 2020, Dr. Goodstein continued work he had begun in 2019 to bring together businesses, criminal justice partners, and community-based organizations to develop employment-based opportunities for formerly incarcerated men and women. In January 2023 Dr. Goodstein made a major retirement/life shift to become a Certified ADHD Life Coach. He founded Where You Are ADHD after completing his ADHD life coaching program in December 2023. Since then, he has been coaching youth (teens and tweens) with ADHD. Dr. Goodstein partners with public and community-based organizations, especially those working with at-risk youth, to support both youth and their families in meeting the ADHD-related challenges they are facing in their lives. __________________________ For More onn Jerry Goodstein Where You Are ADHD _________________________ Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Also Love The Inspired Retirement – Nathalie Martin The Best Day of My Life So Far – Benita Cooper Changing the World One Small Act at a Time – Brad Aronson ________________________ Wise Quotes On Being Open to Reality “There are just some unanticipated swerves that come up…Turn into the swerve…Don't turn against it.” On Becoming a Beginner Again “It absolutely feels like a new beginning for me….“It's never too late to learn.

Join our mastermind community: https://www.skool.com/apparel-success-mastermindTry the best Ai design platform: https://www.design.com/rob88The Instagram aesthetic era is over, and clothing brands that are still posting basic product photos, wall pics, and “cool” content with no real hook are getting cooked. In this video, I break down why so many clothing brands are stuck getting low views on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, and what actually works for growing a clothing brand in 2026. Social media has changed. People are not scrolling just to look at nice clothing photos anymore. They want entertainment, creativity, quick dopamine, and content worth sharing. I also break down the clothing brand Wants and Needs and explain how they've grown so fast by using viral hooks, creative transitions, and content that actually fits how people use social media today. This is not about copying them exactly. It is about understanding why their strategy works and how to apply the same thinking to your own brand, niche, and audience. If you are starting a clothing brand, growing a streetwear brand, or struggling to get views on your content, this video will help you understand why the old Instagram aesthetic strategy is dying and what clothing brands need to do instead.
