  • I invited my good friend Ross Brouse from Continuous Networks to chat about short-form content and how he leverages it to grow his B2B business. Every week, he proves that B2B marketing does not need to be boring by showing up on LinkedIn and TikTok with short and catchy videos. In this episode, we chat about storytelling, what it means in short-form content, the power of analogies, how to get comfortable on camera and how to get started in creating short-form content.
