Welcome to the inaugural episode of Maximus & The Founder Quest! 

In this monthly series, Max Greenwald (Co-founder & CEO of Warmly,) will team up with Dave Gerhardt (Author of Founder Brand & Founder of Exit Five) on a mission to level up Max's founder brand.

In this episode they tackle the fundamentals of storytelling and why most founders get social media ROI completely wrong. Dave shows Max how to think long-term about brand building and reveals his 6-question framework that turns positioning exercises into actual LinkedIn content strategy.
