About this podcast
I'm your host, John Newtson, founder of The Financial Marketing Summit, the #1 networking and marketing conference for financial publishers and trader educators.
FinPub Pro is the podcast for the financial publishing industry.
I talk to the marketers, founders, publishers, executives, copywriters, and other professionals working in the industry we call "FinPub" - financial & investment newsletter publishers, trader educators, and digital financial media.
I've been in the FinPub industry for almost twenty years.
Join me in conversation with many of the brightest minds in financial publishing as we explore what's working across the industry, what's not, regulatory issues, and more.
