Squirrel! Another way we refer to that shiny new thing that distracts us. 

Marketers classically have shiny object syndrome, and admitting it is the first step, right?

This episode covers all elements of the bird app, Threads (more on this than we expected), social media in general, and events. Meg Coffey is THE preeminent digital marketing expert & event organizer in Australia, hailing all the way from Texas.

We had so much fun -- three marketers with the gift of gab makes for a fast-paced, insightful, and exciting conversation!
