Michael Barber (@michaeljbarber) is one of those people in the Phoenix internet community who I wish I could get to see a little more regularly than I do. He’s incredibly smart and very experienced in the digital marketing space but don’t think that his life stops when he walks away from a keyboard. He consistently taking part in events, going to restaurants or even helping rescue a Westie or two. Michael’s a great guy and I hope you enjoy this episode as a quick introduction to him.
Jay Baer, @jaybaer, is known for being one of the top minds in online marketing through his blog Convince and Convert.

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.
