BONUS - A Deeper Dive into the Comic Book World with Paul Eza from Acorn Comics

In this week’s bonus episode, I’m turning the reins over to my son, Jordon, to be my guest host. He is a 13 year-old comic book buff. So, while on our last episode, you got to meet comic book writer Paul Eza and hear our conversation about common content creation pain points, I thought it’d be a fun treat to have a bonus conversation with Paul lead by Jordon to discuss the comics he writes, how he’s navigating the comic biz, and about comic history and culture in general.

Common Content Creation Pain Points with Paul Eza from Acorn Comics

“How do you realistically maintain your content creation as a busy business owner?” Let’s talk today about what content pain points you may be experiencing and how to overcome them. I probably have or am experiencing them, too. For me, it’s typically pain points related to 1) the time to do it, 2) the know-how to do it, and, in some cases, 3) the money to do it. So, we’ll start by exploring some of those common content creation pain points that many small business owners experience. Then, I’ll introduce you to Paul Eza–the Founder of Acorn Comics. Aside from working to get his comic books off the ground, he is also a husband and father, and his fulltime job is as an attorney, mediator, and litigator. So, it’s safe to say that he’s a busy guy who already has his hands full BEFORE trying to figure out how to promote his comic books. And, in my Sticky Note segment, I’ll help you solve one key pain point of content creation–finding the TIME to create your content.
