Listen "The Rose & Rockstar: Robert’s Writing Habit"
Episode Synopsis
                            Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic. 
This week, over a classic cocktail, having just published his fifth book and maintained his prolific writing for Content Marketing Institute and his newsletter, Ian asks Robert about his writing habit.
Some key points from the discussion:
  
Writing is a process of storytelling, not just output
  
Using AI to assist in research and idea generation
  
Consider writing shorter books
  
Using video content to complement written articles
  
Attracting subscribers to your newsletter
  
Timeliness and relevance
If you have a question for the bar or an opinion on this week's discussion, please get in touch - just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.
Enjoy!
