How do you drive traffic to your website? I know this is a question that I've been pondering lately as we continue to grow the MisFits and think of ways to help our clients. One way is through Killer Creative, badass videos, and other forms of content that catch your perfect customers' attention, leading them down a rabbit hole that eventually converts them into paying customers.One of the best in the business that I personally know is Rob Mains, Founder of RebelVictory Media, a content production house for emergings brands, including the nationally recognized Beard Club, which Rob is a partner and content creator for. More recently however, Rob's focus is on helping veterans get the support they need through Guardian Revial, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to revive and preserve the mental health and wellbeing of veterans and first responders — our guardians — at no cost to them.Like me, Rob is a bit of a bearded Renaissance man, but he's still a content creator at heart. On the show, we talk about how to leverage video to drive leads, his thoughts on the creative business, and his calling to serve the veteran community at Guaridan Revival.Be sure to subscribe to the Dog Whistle Brand Newsletter on Substack here: www.dogwhistlebranding.comOrder my book, “Black Veteran Entrepreneur” here: https://amzn.to/3gme7kgLearn more about Guardian Revival here: https://www.guardianrevival.org/
Welcome to Season 4 of the Changeup. Our first guest is the Co-Owner and Treasurer/Secretary/Writer at Baseball Prospectus, Rob Mains. While we did not predict the devastating early exits of the Braves and Dodgers, we did talk about the changing landscape of what next-generation teams like the Diamondbacks, Orioles, and Rangers are doing to lead the way moving forward. If you like baseball, you will love this episode as we go deep on the numbers and history of sabermetrics, advanced statistics, and why the Mets and Yankees blundered so hard this season.
Who cares who the best team of all time is? We want to know who the most dominant is. What team didn't just defeat their competition, but routed and embarrased them?

Plus, happy birthday to Sonny Siebert and Walker Cooper!

With the Mets...uh...not in the playoffs according to our notes, it's going to be a sparse news week for Episode 244 of For All You Kids Out There, so Jeffrey and Jarrett turn the agenda over to the listeners. We do have to employ Rob Mains for a particularly complicated financial question, although Jarrett is far more qualified to handle that one than the one about bands of the 2010s.
