In today’s episode, we’re focusing on content and how it’s been used in the freight industry to sell a variety of products and services. For years, content felt like an afterthought and not the primary communication it is today therefore the perfect guest to speak on this evolution is none other than Tim Dooner, host and producer of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

Quotes:

“Nothing's overnight; everything is a grind. And that's the first thing anyone should know before you get into creating content, this is a grind, and it can be very unrewarding. And often, you have to push yourself through it and get there.”

“Podcasting is very intimate. I take my podcasts with me to the grocery store, and I take them to the gym or in the shower. It's a much different medium.”

“It's easier for many folks to start with a partner, and we can bounce those ideas off and find a good group. I don't know that I ever would have started making content online if I didn't have a co-host.”
