Marketing Lessons Learned From Hugh Hefner (Ep. 123)

In light of Hugh Hefner’s recent passing, I wanted to share a few marketing lessons I learned from him as a 9-years old kid.

At the time, my grandpa was a member of the Playboy club. And occasionally, he’d bring me along (he’d pay the doorman to let me in).

As I’m sure you can imagine, the whole experience was fascinating, but what I really remember are the marketing lessons I learned along the way.

If you want to hear exactly what those lessons were, how I’ve used them to build a 7-figure business, and how you can do the same, then I think you’re going to love this episode of Video Marketing Mastery.
