You’ll Learn:

  • What made Jay do the unthinkable by leaving his cushy job at Google.
  • The “ah-ha” moment Jay had while as the head of content at HubSpot.
  • The way we think of creativity is wrong. It’s an iterative process, not the muse striking you.
  • Content producers who stick to the facts are at a disadvantage to those who sensationalize. The media needs to change its revenue model so they’re no longer forced to play that game.

  

3 Key Points:

  2. As soon as you get down to the template level you’re one step removed from automation.
