For a career as a freelance direct response copywriter?

You’ll hear all about it in episode 34 of The Road to a Billion with Stefan Georgi…

The call-in show where YOU get to ask him questions about copywriting, freelancing, relationships, scaling offers, entrepreneurship, mindset, and more!

In this episode, Stefan and co-host Ed Reay are joined by brilliant advertiser and copywriter - John Robb.

If you don’t know John, he has a really cool journey that’s reflective of a lot of people who end up in this crazy world of direct response, freelancing, and copywriting…

Starting at a job in New York at one of the best ad agencies in the world…

Then writing and shooting TV commercials all over the world for some of the biggest brands and celebrities (including Google, Beats By Dre, PlayStation, Toyota, Sprint, Serena Williams, and 2Chainz).

And ending up where he is today…

A highly sought-after copywriter who’s tripled his monthly income and 5x’d what he charges for a project.

If you are a freelancer or entrepreneur, you’ll certainly find a ton of inspiration in his journey!

Here’s a glimpse of what you are about to discover:

• A BIZARRE story involving an airplane hangar, an authentic Samurai sword, and a barefoot Serena Williams

• The RIGHT way to “swipe” copy to simplify your writing process WITHOUT any of the backlash
