Vulnerability & Writing the Story of Our Life With David Ebner

David and I met through our mutual participation in a shared small group community of marketers that spawned out of the Atlanta Hubspot user group. We collaborated when I presented a Path of the Freelancer webinar about building a steady stream of paying clients for the Copywriter Exchange.
In our conversation below, we explore David's storytelling background, how his sense of homelessness fueled his pursuit of creative endeavors, the power of vulnerability, and how he navigates the challenges of life.
