No CMO Podcast EP.10 w/ Rand Fishkin
The #1 Startup Marketing Podcast is back with Episode 11!
Rowan and I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the SEO pioneer, author and entrepreneur Rand Fishkin today. From his start at his mother-and-son marketing company over 10 years ago to his newest business SparkToro, Rand has built up an impressive list of achievements; most notably his SEO work at his previous company Moz (where he is still on the board of directors). We enjoyed getting into the backstory, structure and use of SparkToro as well as some tidbits and founder-advice from his recent book "Lost and Founder". We discussed the problems with the typical funding model and spoke about the "tech bro" culture surrounded by it. Rand could not have been a better fit for our podcast and we can't wait to have him back. SparkToro launches this September and we can't wait to see what it will provide to companies, marketers and PR folks. Hope you guys enjoyed! All links are in the show notes below.
