Social Media Wisdom from Gary W. Goldstein

Over the past few weeks, +Gary W. Goldstein has been making appearances on The Creative Connection HOA by +TheCraftStar.com. In case you don't know who Gary is, he is an extremely successful movie producer and Hollywood influencer, perhaps best known for his film, Pretty Woman.

What many don't know is that Gary is also a brilliant teacher. He has spent decades helping rising talent find their way into Hollywood, and as it turns out, his advice and wisdom can actually be applied to many businesses, and social media in particular.

For instance, one of Gary's most important tenets is that Relationships Come First. He said that, "My mantra, and the key to all my success is simple: relationships over results, always."

As I listened to Gary talk, I knew that I had to share with you his fascinating perspective and stories. He offers us lessons on:

1. Building Relationships
2. Targeted Marketing
3. Influencer Marketing
4. Content Marketing

And he also has fantastic advice for people in general, like the importance of limiting distractions,  or how and why you should seek out a mentor for yourself.

I know that everyone who has listened to Gary during one of his HOAs has been impacted in different ways. After you've had a chance to soak in his wisdom, I'm really interested to hear what it was that really touched you. Did you find new insight into social media marketing, or perhaps something more personal? Did Gary inspire your creativity, or was it just plain fun to listen to someone that involved in Hollywood?

Enjoy!
