Stop What You’re Doing & Listen to These 8 Epic Marketing Speak Episodes

There are plenty of great perks to being a leader in SEO. I travel to exotic locations to speak at conventions around the globe. I write books to share my knowledge with others (and get to call myself an author too). But one of my favorite parts of the job is hosting two weekly podcasts, Marketing Speak and Get Yourself Optimized. Being a podcast host has given me the opportunity to meet dozens of fascinating people, expand my knowledge, and most of all, have fun and inspiring chats! I’ve hosted the Marketing Speak podcast for over two years. In that time, I’ve interviewed over 125 experts on everything from digital marketing to social media to sales. Each of my guests has provided me and my listeners with invaluable new tools. Today, I’m going to share some of my personal favorite episodes. Listen, download, and subscribe to get more great tips to take your marketing to the next level.
