Welcome to our first masterclass episode of the season. What is a masterclass, you ask?
As we travel through North America and the UK with the live #imakealiving event, we have been collecting questions from real-life entrepreneurs, like yourself, in many areas of running a business. Topics include marketing, social media, growing your team, finances, taxes, work-life balance, advertising, etc.
We have taken the most common or interesting questions and put them in front of the experts to get their insights, tips, and advice on such crucial topics. We see this as a chance to connect with some of the most successful entrepreneurs in today's world and ask them anything.
To kick off the masterclasses, we have none less than the amazing Peter Shankman.
