You may have heard me say recently that one of my 2024 priorities for this show, the audio show in particular, is to split the recordings about 50/50 between guest interviews and solo episodes. I have been getting such positive feedback on episodes of the show where it's just me doing Q&A or breaking down a specific topic and sharing how I think about it. So today, I'm going to do one of those solo episodes. I have a lot of questions today submitted on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Threads, so we will go through as many as we can.

Justin Moore is a sponsorship coach and the founder of Creator Wizard, a school and community that teaches you how to find and negotiate your dream brand deals. Along with his wife, April, Justin has been a full-time creator for over 8 years and has personally made over $4,000,000 working with brands. He has also run an influencer agency for over 7 years that helped creators earn an additional $3,000,000. Now Justin brings a very unique perspective because not only has he been a creator in the trenches doing sponsorships for years, but by running an agency, he has insider knowledge behind how big brands choose which influencers to partner with and why they pass on others. The conversation you're about to hear is something we recorded for Justin's YouTube channel about a month ago. In 2023, Creator Science earned more than $100,000 in sponsorship alone, but I didn't really have a sponsorship strategy. So in this episode, we changed that completely. Justin helps me see where I'm leaving things on the table.
