Want To Build A Movement, Not A Company? – with Clay Johnson

Clay Johnson, Blue State Digital, Non-Tech

My vision for you, my readers, has never been to help you build just a startup or just a company. My mission is to help you build a movement. That’s why I did this interview with Clay Johnson, co-founder of Blue State Digital.

Clay helped politicians like Barack Obama and Howard Dean build massive movements and raise millions of dollars. In this interview you’ll learn the tactics he used to grow their campaigns, and how you can use them right now.
