Marketing Consultant

In July, my client and I started planning a conference called Finovate to take place in early October in New York. Any seasoned event planner will tell you that a 12-week time line is crazy. We did it anyway.

Last Wednesday, I was invited by Professor Rob Wiltbank of Willamette University's Atkinson Graduate School of Management to speak to his class of 75 first-year MBA students about entrepreneurial strategy and marketing.

On a recent trip out to Boston, I managed to squeeze in an extra day and meet a few of the podcast interviewees from my 1,000 podcast interview project (Jenerous) in person for the first time.

One of the interesting things about being a consultant is that one's life lacks the structure that comes with things like performance reviews, bosses that pat you on the back, and what not. And every so often, that sort of thing is kind of nice.

A current client of mine wrote recently this about my services and so I thought I hide the humble pie for a few minutes and toot my own horn a little:

On Tuesday, I was honored to get a chance to speak to an entrepreneurship class at UW Bothell. I spoke for about a hour on my philosophy (or mottos - yes, you can spell it that way) on marketing and entrepreneurship.

You can find the slides here along with some of the other lectures from the class.

It was a lot of fun and hopefully I'll have a chance to do it again soon.
