Episode 18: Forcing Yourself Out Of Your Comfort Zone {with Ann Handley}

Guest: Ann Handley, MarketingProfs

Taking on a content first mentality with your marketing, means you must be willing to put yourself out there, possibly in ways you never imagined. Taking a stand, having a strong point of view and perhaps even shaking up the status quo are all elements that need to be considered when developing content for your business. In this episode of Content Inc., Joe Pulizzi is joined by Ann Handley, Chief Content Officer, MarketingProfs. Ann shares a story from her grade school years of how being forced to evaluate what it meant to literally sit on the sidelines affected more than just one game of field hockey. You cannot expect to succeed if you are not in the game.
