Social Media Marketing for eCommerce & Hacking Tinder with Blake Jamieson of PoolSupplyWorld - 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.

Many marketers are like this--we prefer to put our nose down and be creative which means we sometimes don't give as much attention to other aspects of business. 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.
