David offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a student-led endowment fund focused on early-stage, sector-agnostic investments primarily in the Michigan ecosystem.

The episode also explores the importance of networking, adding value in the startup ecosystem, and practical advice for aspiring investors or entrepreneurs navigating the venture capital world.

Content forms often compete against each other - think long-form vs short-form content. Which one is better for social media marketing? In this episode, I am joined by Margarette (Maggie) Leandre, a social media strategist and e-mail marketer and Deanna Jade Duxbury, a Brand content and global social media manager. We explore the benefits and disadvantages of both forms of content and how they play a role in your overall social media objective. What to expect; Definition: long-form and short-form Monetization/Income Virality vs ROI Content and SEO Social media platform accessibility What are the benefits of long-form content? Long-form content has several advantages over short-form content. First, it allows you to go into greater depth on a topic. This can be helpful if you want to establish yourself as an expert on a particular subject. Additionally, long-form content tends to be more evergreen than short-form content. This means that it will continue to be relevant and useful long after publication. What are the benefits of short-form content? Short-form content has a few advantages over long-form content. First, it's easier to produce. This means that you can publish more content more quickly, which can help you to keep your social media channels updated regularly. Additionally, short-form content is generally more engaging than long-form content. This is because it's easier to consume and typically more visually appealing. So, which type of content should you use for social media marketing? The answer is that it depends on your goals. If you want to establish yourself as an expert, long-form content is a great option. Short-form content is a better choice if you're looking to produce engaging and visually appealing content quickly. And if you're looking for flexibility, short-form content is the way to go.

Are you looking for ways to automate your marketing? In this episode, I'll introduce you to marketing automation and show you how it can help small businesses streamline their marketing efforts. You'll learn what marketing automation is, what benefits it offers, and how to get started using it. Almost any small business can benefit from marketing automation. However, it's important to first understand what marketing automation is and what it can do for your business. Marketing automation is the process of using technology to automate certain marketing tasks. This could include things like email marketing, social media campaigns, or targeted ads. The use of Marketing Automation can help increase conversion rates on your website by creating a personalized experience for each visitor. Most businesses are becoming more customer-centric - that is, they are putting the needs of their customers at the center of everything they do. Market Automation helps these companies stay on top of their game by knowing their audience - how they act, what they like, and what they're interested in. By automating marketing processes, you can avoid manual data entry, reduce repetitive tasks, and facilitate consistency. Furthermore, it can improve the quality of customer service by automating requests and reducing response times.
