When you say the world of marketing is changing rapidly, do you mean marketing principles or just tactics and technologies?
What aspect of marketing is changing the most rapidly and why?
What kind of marketing traits do you tens to see between the most successful businesses nowadays?
How should marketers and digital entrepreneurs keep up with the changes?
How can you protect your business from being disrupted in this fast changing environment?
When a business is trying to build a marketing team, what should they look for in new hires to help to future proof their abilities?
Do you think that marketers need to be generalists or specialists?

Software I couldn't live without
What software do you currently use in your business that if someone took away from you, it would significantly impact your marketing success?
Slack [Team communication]
What software don't you use, but you've heard good things about, and you've intended to try at some point in the near future?
Snapchat [Social sharing]
My number 1 takeaway
What's the single most important step from our discussion that our listeners need to take away and implement in their businesses?
Comfort kills. Be the disruption you want to see in the world. If you were going to beat your company, how would you do it? If you were going to deliver more value for your customers, how would you do it? It's a hard, emotional business strategic decision to say that "I am going to kill my own model, or test against my own model". And frankly it required courage. But even though you've survived 100 years, you may not survive the next 10 if you don't stay focused on that.
