Adam Erhart - From Flying Jets to Helping Brands Soar: Adam Erhart’s Journey from Pilot to Marketing Strategist

Today’s guest took this leap when he decided to quit his job as a jet pilot to pursue a career in marketing.

Adam Erhart braved the turbulence in shifting careers to pursue his curiosity and follow his passion in learning about marketing, people, and how he can help them grow their businesses.

Adam and I discuss:

His transition from being a corporate business jet pilot to digital marketing consultant
Dealing with the judgment that came with shifting careers and hustling hard to rebuild himself after making the big leap
His love for marketing because it’s always based on people and human behavior
Earning a marketing degree and putting in the hours to learn more about it outside school through audiobooks, podcasts, books, and more
His progression through content formats; starting off with a blog and eventually venturing into YouTube
The reality that it’s not always easy to drive traffic from successful platforms like Twitter, Instagram, or email to YouTube because consumer behavior varies on different platforms
Determining whether a business should be on certain social media platforms; even big ones like YouTube
Figuring out what type of content your market likes to consume, what type of content you can deliver, and finding the sweet spot that makes you visible where you need to be
His take on studying the growth and trajectory of new platforms before marketing on them
His two-fold manifesto of always pursuing growth in his personal life and creating value for others in his career
