Very funny and helpful stuff. I too am more of a pen and paper guy. I refine it when I transfer my notes to the computer. I also believe in incorporating humor into my marketing really helps the audience relax and be more receptive to the message. Great Interview Kevin!
Liked this one a lot, great insights about being true to yourself when crafting your messaging.. I’ve scrapped many a video when they didn’t feel like me. Still a work in progress… And yeap, education embedded in marketing is a true secret weapon, thanks for the reminder.
I’m sure you’ve heard this by now but…
