The founder and CEO of EyeMail, a company whose technology allows brands to embed 60 seconds of video into their email marketing messages. This isn't just a link - it's actually in the email and you can play it right there. Lisa tells her personal story and what led to her building a business focused on email. This is Lisa Jones' story about Pushing Send.

Keypoints from this episode:

• Lisa majored in logistics and procurement because she loved processes and things of that magnitude. When the opportunity became available to be a logistics specialist director at NASA, she jumped at the chance. 
• It's been said that we receive 120 emails a day on average, and we send out 40 of that. 73% remains unread.
• It's been said that 95% of us retain what we see in video versus 10% of what we read.
• The EyeMail team is very proud of their diversity. The youngest team member is 23 and the most senior team member is 75.
• Email is here to stay. Some people will say that email is dead, but we just have a love, hate relationship with email. We send emails, but then we don't like receiving all of these emails that we're inundated with. However, email is here to stay.
• Is EyeMail an email service provider? No, they're not. They bring email to life and they're focused on that.
