In this episode…
As a child, Zach Benson had a problem interacting and creating connections with other kids. But after his friend shared a breakdancing CD with him, he got hooked—and was thrilled to find a way to express himself through dance. He later became a professional dancer and started teaching kids to dance, making a 6-figure income and living the life of his dreams.
However, after a back injury forced him to stop dancing, his friend introduced him to the world of Instagram advertising. To grow his business, he used the same strategies he employed while promoting himself as a professional dancer. As a result, he is now a monetization strategist helping people grow and scale their businesses.
