@ the PM. From what i am gathering the strategy should be.

1. We broadcast ourselves 'YouTube'
2. Get advise on how to package the program. We can consult Larry Madowo
and m sure once in while he can be airing our clips on his program
#theTrend. if they will catch viewers attention.

Think Big start Small.

Let me know how soon we can meet.

Regards,

Martin
