#24 Becoming a Connector with Michael Roderick - Marketing Group Therapy: Advice and Inspiration for Digital Marketing and eCommerce Professionals

My favorite part of digital marketing conferences was spending time with other marketers in the halls and after-hours hanging out and sharing our stories. It’s a place where we could talk about trials and triumphs, make connections and help each other out. A time of bonding. I came to refer to it as “group therapy”.  This podcast brings those experiences to everyone. A time to sit down with our peers–real-world marketers–to learn from each other, to be inspired and to make us all better as a group.  I’m your host, BJ Smith. I’m not a doctor or counselor, just an eCommerce marketing veteran that loves to teach and share. So pull up a chair and join us for a few sessions!  I love interaction! I encourage you to Tweet questions to upcoming guests or interact during a live stream. Check out http://bjsmith.co/upcoming.

This is especially true for the financial side of business.

Darryl Lyons is a small business owner and financial expert. We talk what marketers and business owners need to pay attention to when it comes to financial and business decisions.
