Or about any other topic, for that matter...
Starting Line
We’ve been wanting to have our friend Raziq Rauf on the podcast for a while, and the timing couldn’t have been better. Aaron is currently starting to work on his first book, turning to Raz for some much-needed advice. In addition, this conversation is an absolute blueprint for how to get a publishing deal, how to write the book, and what to expect along the way. For anyone who has ever wanted to become a published author, this episode is for you!

Thank You
Next week’s podcast conversation is with a founder who we met at Outdoor Media Summit last year. He spoke on one of the panels and when he said, “we spend one million dollars a month on advertising,” our ears perked up. Dylan said this was a Hall of Fame episode, we can’t wait for you to hear it!
Thanks for having me on!
