They’re about making the advice I’m already giving easier to find. In this episode, I’m talking with Jack about why short-form video can work so well for business owners, especially if you’re already answering client questions, recording podcasts, taking Zoom calls, or showing up on other people’s shows. We break down how Shorts can keep getting views long after you post them, why LinkedIn is still only one small corner of the internet, and how to start creating clips without scripting every word or turning your content into a corporate ad.
