A Sold Out Show; This Week's Reading Pile
Written by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU
Early this week, I attended a live performance of The Rest Is History Podcast.
The podcast is nothing more than two British historians chatting about…history. I’m sure many would find that boring. But I personally loved their 4-part discussion on the Falkland War.
Remember, I said I attended a live performance. That’s right – these historians have taken the show on the road, as they say. And in Washington, D.C., they sold out a 1,000-seat theater on a Monday night.
Anthony, what’s your point? If you expertly ply your trade, honor your audience, and consistently deliver value, there’s a market for you out there. Everyone has choices now. Be awesome, and a crowd will find you.
Now, on to this week’s reading pile!
