Jay Baer, @jaybaer, is known for being one of the top minds in online marketing through his blog Convince and Convert. He’s spoken at a lot of different events teaching companies and individuals how to stop focusing on the individual tools and start focusing on a larger strategy that helps convert consumers of content into customers. I’ve had the great pleasure of hanging out with Jay a number of times including a couple of conferences last year where we had the opportunity to get fairly close. Jay is a very smart and experienced online marketer who I look up to immensely.

There isn’t anyone in Phoenix who I trust more regarding great restaurants than Chris so be sure to check out his Ignite Phoenix #5 talk. Read the rest of this entry »
Jonathan Kressaty (@kressaty) is an entrepreneur who I look up to immensely. Professionally he’s best described at this point as a serial entrepreneur but I prefer to think of him as just an all around awesome guy who works hard to make businesses simply happen. In this interview we talk about entrepreneurship and how he never thought he would be the guy owning and operating multiple businesses and some of the key features to his latest venture Betwext Pro. He even informs me of one of his hobbies that I never heard him speak about before. Read the rest of this entry »
Today’s guest is Owen JJ Stone or as you more likely know him, @OhDoctah. Owen is one of the internet guys who I believe not only really knows his stuff but is quite possibly one of the most genuine people I’ve met in this community.

I have to offer a huge thanks to Owen for stepping in last minute and recording this episode because if he didn’t I probably wouldn’t have an episode for you today. Read the rest of this entry »
