The School of Influence

Why do some people or brands command cult-like followings, while others struggle to stay afloat? Why do some people rise to social media stardom, while others can’t get anywhere?

And what are the takeaways that we can implement in our business and/or personal branding? Author, professor and the Queen of Influencer Marketing Amanda Russell brings you the answers with concise, no nonsense interviews of top influencers across categories. Amanda’s unique dynamic is both engaging and provocative. She and frequent co-host Jason Falls ask the tough questions, to get the real, raw answers that you can put into practice TODAY. No fluff, no BS, just the real story!
