We’ve made it past episode 1.

Today, David and I want to address a topic that we need to discuss before we dive deeper into the podcast. Why do you need marketing? What exactly is marketing?

I guess we should start out with how we each define marketing is and why it matters to your business. We’re going to do our best to keep it to 30 minutes, because both of us could talk about this topic forever!
