Even though social media has become a vital part of every business' marketing strategy, many big brands still struggle with really using it to connect with their fans. What most brands end up doing is using it as a communication platform instead of a chance to actually have a conversation with their customers.

This is where our guest for today comes in, as keynote speaker and founder of iSocialFanz.com, Brian Fanzo shares with us his "Think Like a Fan" mentality, how he helps brands share their stories and how he has managed to build his brand around it.

Brian and I get into a great discussion about how his popularity sky-rocketed within the live video space and his tips on engaging with your audience. We also touch on the concept of not quitting and the difference between businesses that achieve success and the ones that don't.
