Ryan Williams is building an empire on his ability to tell the stories of what he calls the influencer economy. Ryan’s take on an influencer is someone who has a successful career in new media, music and sports while remaining accessible to their fan-base.
Ryan’s freelance career consists of balancing between the production of his podcast, Stories From the Influencer Economy, his book titled The Influencer Economy, and his consulting business.
The Influencer Economy podcast is really what got me thinking about starting The Naked Freelancer. Having an actual conversation with Ryan is what sealed the deal for me. His support and encouragement are a big reason why I followed through with this show. Seriously – listen to his podcast. You’ll be glad you did.
