This is Unpopular, and I’m Josh Withers. I cut my SEO teeth on our own businesses, learned more from the best, started offering it to friends, and now I’m here. Honest online business and search optimisation designed to help ease the algorithm anxiety big tech companies leave you in. I also believe that SEO is more than Google, but is about optimising your entire business to make it found everywhere.
A Pint With Seaniebee is an informal chat with creative folks who have lived, or are living brave, interesting and unconventional lives. We examine how their background and upbringing forged the path they went down; what decisions they took that made all the difference; what ideas they have to change the world in which we live; what life-wisdom they have garnered; and looking back, perhaps what they might change or what advice they might offer up to those following in their footsteps.
