In today's show, we are going to rebroadcast our interview with Dave Hanley, a successful entrepreneur and seasoned sales practitioner. He had a big part in building two bootstrapped software companies and became a profitable industry leader. Currently, he is the Chief Revenue Officer at AdvertiseCast, a podcast advertising platform connecting brands with highly-engaged podcast audiences.


Dave was a guest on our show four years ago when he talked about his experiences with the Student Works Program. He shares how it helped him decide to be an entrepreneur and how the exposure to management and leadership with Student Works helps him pass through the sleepless nights when he loses a client. 


He also gave some valuable advice that will inspire you to go out into the marketplace, take bold actions and create the results that you truly want.


Before rebroadcasting the interview with Dave, we are also going to play a recent follow-up to Dave’s interview, a conversation in which he will talk about how his business grew enormously and how it was acquired by Libsyn, one of the long-standing players in the podcast industry. 


Chris and Dave will have a fantastic talk about selling your business and leadership at a higher level. 


You will learn more about AdvertiseCast, the concept and the story behind the business.


Dave will share a core skill that he learned at Student Works and he is still using today in his business, will reveal the story behind how AdvertiseCast was purchased by Libsyn and will also talk about what he is working on right now and some of the challenges he is facing


You will also find out that building a great product is not enough to achieve success in your business. What else do you need? Listen until the end to find out!
