I’ve spent my life in business and marketing. I’ve launched hundreds of products and companies, and I’ve worked for some of the top radio stations in the world. I’ve worked with hundreds of people and companies on marketing, including one of the biggest corporations in the world. I’ve founded many magazines, websites, newsletters, and other businesses. And I’ve been written up by Entrepreneur magazine, Inc. magazine, Parade magazine, and more. I’ve been in the Wall Street Journal and featured by over 400 newspapers, and been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, and other networks. I’ve even crashed and burned in marketing, and learned important life lessons as a result.
