July 12, 2016 Special Giveaway

I’m super-excited to announce the very first User Defenders giveaway. Manning Publications just released Super-Guest Victor Yocco’s brand new labor of love, a book called “Design for the Mind: Seven Psychological Principles of Persuasive Design”.
The printed book retails for $40, and Manning gives away the eBook for free with every printed book which is pretty cool.
Victor & Manning Publications have generously sent me two books to give away to you Defenders. Victor has written a personal note and signed both of these copies as well which is awesome.
So here’s how I’m going to give these away. From the date of this episode release Monday, July 11 through July 24, anyone who leaves User Defenders a rating & review on iTunes will be automatically entered to win one of these books. I will randomly select two winners and personally ship one of these bad boys to the two lucky winners as long as you’re in the United States. Sorry International Defenders!
Easiest way to leave a rating & review is to visit userdefenders.com/review
Thanks again so much for listening Defenders and your enthusiastic support of this show. Good luck on the giveaway, and I just wanna say, fight on my friends!
