Hey Everyone! Thought it'd be a fun idea if we used this thread as a self-promotion tool. Feel free to post ONE of your social media links below and let's all follow each other :) I'll start, follow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/victorywithnik/

Would love to get feedback on 2 things: 1. I typically don't get a ton of organic traffic / views to pod episodes I put on YouTube. For whatever reason, latest episode with David Fales (s/o Nik your pod with him was great) got significantly more than usual. Idk if it was the thumbnail or maybe just him promoting episode a little bit. Regardless would love feedback on the it 2. I've been thinking about a "pinned post" for IG. I'm not GREAT with canva / design. Have gotten better but would want to make it look good for first impression on page. Any suggestions or connections that wouldn't break the bank to have something like that made or tips on what to do on canva myself would be appreciated

Would like to set up our next community meeting! We've had some new members join in since our last one and would love for all of us to meet one another :) Let me know which time works best using the poll below:

The screenshot below is usually the cold email I send either to agents or athletes directly asking them to come on the pod... I feel like I need to revamp it, any suggestions?
