14 - Ryan Hayward: Add Value First

This week I had the chance to sit down and talk to the founder and CEO of Pitchproof and the virtual design conference, Frontrow. At a young age, Ryan knew he had an entrepreneurial and creative drive that set him apart. With that, he jumped all into the creative field as a freelance graphic designer, eventually finding a hole in the design market for a better way to present logos to clients and that's how Pitchproof was born. From there Ryan has focused on providing value and building a community for his audience and built Frontrow to do just that. In our conversation, we talked about building both Pitchproof and Frontrow, the key to building a true and engaged audience on social media and how important it is that you provide value for your audience above all else.
