Social Media: The Real Impact feat. Dude Perfect's Cody Jones

In today’s society the aim for social media perfection is high and the pressure that comes with it is even higher.

Taylor shares the lessons she learned through handling social media for the Dallas Cowboys for 6 years and Alex opens up about the story of their viral Tiger King TikTok.
Dude Perfect’s Cody Jones joins for engaging conversation about how Dude Perfect went from being something fun with his college best friends to now a million dollar franchise with one of the most subscribed to YouTube channels in the world. Dude Perfect’s content took the internet by storm in 2009 with trick shot and stunt videos.
