Jason Kramer founded Cultivize, a CRM consulting firm specializing in lead-nurturing strategies and technology. With 15 years of experience running a creative agency, Jason identified revenue gaps in marketing and sales funnels for distributors, service providers, marketing agencies, and manufacturers. He launched Cultivize to provide customized CRM solutions, empower businesses to improve productivity, amplify lead conversions, and provide detailed insights on customer journeys from the top of the funnel to the sale. When not strategizing in CRM, he enjoys family time with his wife, two kids, and two dogs in their lively New York home and, when it’s warm, cruising on the Hudson River.
00:00 - 00:18 "So a lot of times companies will buy software for pain points they have today, but they don't think about in the future what those future pain points might be. So then they outgrow that platform sometimes very quickly. And Rhea, you and I both know that moving from one CRM can be a real pain in the butt.” — Jason Kramer

Karlyn Ankrom is the founder and lead strategist of Oh Snap! Social and creator of the Fan Firestarter Framework, a new approach to social media marketing made specifically for businesses tempted to fake their own death and flee to Tahiti at the mere thought of content creation. Karlyn developed her user-friendly strategy after working for a decade with a variety of brick-and-mortar businesses that were decidedly socially allergic, not because they didn't want to do social media, but because they were intimidated by it. In response, her new system helps newbies get on the fast track to unsticking their social media in just one hour per week.
00:00 - 00:19 "For me, I'm a big proponent of followers don't matter because what really matters is your engagement and whether they're actually engaging. So I think finally, publishers are starting to say, OK, yes, let's look at the total audience. Great. But are these people actually participating in the community and the conversation with this subject matter expert?” — Karlyn Ankrom

Carl Unegbu is a New York attorney, editor of the Comedy Beat website, and author of the popular blog O'Carl's Law, which explores the intersection of comedy and law. He also hosted Comedy Dialogue, a quarterly forum in Manhattan that combined stand-up performances with engaging panel discussions.
In his new book, Comedy Goes to Court: When People Stop Laughing and Start Fighting, Carl provides essential guidance for comedy professionals, helping them avoid disputes, contractual errors, and behaviors that could lead to costly lawsuits. He also tackles the critical question of how far comedians can go while staying protected under the First Amendment.
00:00 - 00:18 " If you're a content creator, this is so important to you because, you know, comedians are just like our canary in the mine, our dog in the fight. They don't have any special advantages or position than any of the rest of us. So what happens to them gives us a sense of what's going to happen to us. How freely you can swing your arms in the area of free speech.” — Carl Unegbu
