How to Use Twitter Strategically to Amplify Your Message
Ed Latimore is a writer with a keen intellect and a powerful punch (literally). His unique background and perspective has attracted the curiosity of silicon valley angel investors, controversial influencers, top-notch podcasters and thought leaders from all over the world.
Ed has been a guest on top-rated podcasts like "The Knowledge Project" with Shane Parrish, "The Jordan Harbinger Show" and "The Art of Manliness" with Brett McKay, among others.
I noticed Latimore when random people, not connected to each other, were sharing and retweeting his content. I reached out to him when I realized he is a fellow Pittsburgher, a Duquesne U student (now graduate with a physics degree) and a professional boxer. Who does that?
I was happy to chat with Ed about how he exploited Twitter to grow his audience exponentially and create an online business in the process and change the trajectory of his life. (You're welcome for that physics reference-bonus points for the definition, a law or equation!)
