In this thought-provoking TSE episode, host Donald Kelly speaks with Adam Robinson, founder and CEO of Retention, about his approach to content creation. Adam discusses the significance of establishing content pillars and sub-pillars to maintain coherence and deliver a unified message. This technique has been instrumental in Adam's success, solidifying the foundation for his content strategy. Discover Adam's methods to improve your sales techniques.

Building Trust with Organic Content Both Adam and Donald concur on the superior efficacy of organic social content compared to traditional ads when building trust.  Donald personally reflects on his inclination towards products discovered on social media, favoring YouTube for its less intrusive nature over website videos. This preference underscores the shift towards content platforms that offer a more genuine connection with audiences.
