#170: Greg & Colt Rollett (The Brolletts) - Building Brands, Sunglass Empires & Content Momentum
We’re back and we’re kicking off this new season with a powerful, full-circle conversation!
In this episode, Chris sits down with his longtime friend and marketing mentor Greg Rolett, plus Greg’s 12-year-old son Colt, co-creator of The Brolletts Podcast and a rising content entrepreneur in his own right. Together, they’ve launched a sunglass brand, built a content-first media company, and are stacking at-bats in the game of brand building—one piece of content at a time.
🎧 What You’ll Learn:

-
Why consistency and speed of implementation win in content creation
