Ep #72 - Welcome to a bonus marketing news update episode for the Marketing Geeks Podcast. In today's show, your hosts, Justin Womack and Andros Sturgeon, will reveal the latest headlines in the marketing world and breakdown the stories with their keen insights and wisdom. 

You'll hear about a dossier compiled by Snapchat on Facebook's business practices titled "Project Voldemort," we'll touch on Google's recent quantum computing technology breakthrough, and we'll even discuss a little company called Netflix purchasing licensing rights for the 1990's sitcom Seinfeld for $500M. It turns out AT&T is also entering the streaming wars and they've upped the ante even more by going after The Big Bang Theory's streaming rights for a whopping total of $1B. That's one billion with a "b" folks. Other stories covered include China now applying their social credit system to businesses, a GooglePlay app subscription service, and a new tool to track app analytics.

Ep #67 - This week on the Marketing Geeks Podcast we are joined by Misti Barnes, a hair loss expert that is attempting to tackle the issue of hair loss and baldness. Misti is an author, a trainer, an Associate Trichologist, Collagen Restoration Therapist, Medical Micropigmentation Artist and licensed Esthetician. Together, with a leading biochemist in hair science, she developed Cellustrious® Hair Follicle Rejuvenation™,  a patent-pending, non-surgical treatment for hair loss, which uses plant-derived peptides and growth factors to target hair follicles.

It's an ambitious undertaking and an inspiring one that we wanted to discuss on the show. During our interview, we dive into Misti's backstory and even her early journey finding clients. Misti has recently transitioned away from targeting a consumer market and rather is adapting to B2B (business-to-business) marketing strategies. 

As a B2B marketer, Misti does all the hard things that most business owners don't want to do. She literally visits doctor offices and clinics to pitch her hair loss solution in person and over the phone. We talk a little bit about how this has been for her and how she's responded to rejection and ultimately overcome it. Hint: She had a lot of it early on.

Misti Barnes has a relatable story and an inspiring one. She is making big things happen and gave us an amazing interview. Enjoy.

We explore Jordan's experience with podcasting and talk about how the show has opened important doorways for him and his business. Also, we go into the topic of whether college is still important.
