In this packed episode with David Meerman Scott we covered such a broad list of topics that we had to cut it into two episodes. Start with the first one and then jump in here.

Here’s a quick rundown of what we discuss throughout the two episodes:

• How and why getting fired from his corporate gig was a gift
• How going on your own is less risky than working for a single corporate entity
• Why job #1 is creating content assets no matter where you are in your career
• How content marketing is largely free and gives you a huge advantage
• Who you should hire (personnel and staff) to tell your story
• Whether experienced business people from industry are better entrepreneurs than scrappy 20-somethings
• Why you should say “no” to the wrong investor
• Is a self-employed consultant a “real entrepreneur?”
• How to setup with an advisory role at another company
