Disney+ Lessons, Content Planning for 2020, and Email Marketing Gone Wrong

In this edition of the Scouting Report, we dive into Disney+ and how their launch plan helps the confidence of little guys like us, why you should consider time as a commodity, what content strategy you should be implementing for 2020, email marketing gone wrong, and what I'm listening to and watching.

About This Show:

Bonjour with Blythe covers the wins, losses, and lifestyle around being a present-day entrepreneur.

Contrary to popular belief, freelancing and entrepreneurialism are not all working out of coffee shops and taking insta-friendly vacations. There are real challenges (and tears!) involved with running your own business. But there are also a lot of perks; which host Blythe Brumleve hopes to share both sides of the coin in The Scouting Report show.
