Greetings After Dinner Conversation subscribers! Todays interview is a bit of a departure for us at ADC. Instead of limiting our video interviews to authors solely featured in our magazine, we have have decided to use our platform to spotlight new and upcoming authors who have caught our eye on the Substack platform.
Today we are featuring Mila Golubov and her publication The In Between.
This interview was an absolute blast. We touch on so many important topics including AI, joblessness, marketing, techniques for growing your Substack, where ideas come from, whether or not to choose a writing niche, attracting paid subscribers, branding, and how not to use AI.
I hope you enjoy watching the interview as much as I enjoyed conducting it. And make sure to check out Mila’s work at The In Between.
