014: Creating Content and Scaling DTC Brands with Ari Murray

Ten Years In The Making

As the concept of personal branding continues to explode, many creators have the same question: Where do I start?

Today, I’m sitting down with Ari Murray, the VP of Growth at Sharma Brands and creator of Go-to-Millions at Workweek, a marketing and founder-focused newsletter with more than 25,000 subscribers.

You’ll also hear how Ari collects emails for her newsletter, the importance of knowing your content inside and out, and how she made her way into the media industry after dropping out of law school.
