My guest for Episode #120 of the <a href='http://myfavoritemistakepodcast.com/'>My Favorite Mistake podcast</a> is <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/angeloponzi/'>Angelo Ponzi</a>, Founder / President of the <a href='https://www.theponzigroup.com/'>Ponzi Group</a> (now called <a href='https://www.craftmarketingarchitects.com/'>Craft Marketing Architects</a>). Angelo is a fractional CMO, business advisor, marketing architect, keynote speaker, and author.
He's also host of the podcast called <a href='http://businessgrowthcafe.com/'>Business Growth Cafe</a>.
In today's episode, Angelo shares his “favorite mistake” story about not doing his due diligence when he started a film production company that failed in eight months – and what he learned from this that helped him when he tried again. We also talk about the elephant in the room — his last name and the name of his firm.
We talk about that story and other topics including:
<ul><li>What does it mean to be a marketing architect?</li>
 <li>Mistakes in understanding customers?</li>
 <li>Marketing mistakes that you see and help people avoid?</li>
 <li>I love wine… can you tell us about the work you did with a wine brand to boost demand and sales?</li>
 <li>The importance of testing ideas and marketing efforts</li>
</ul>
