I like the point you make about learning from people from “all walks of life.” It’s important to learn from within our industry and outside it. Thanks for sourcing such a great list of marketing experts. I’m familiar with a few of them, but others I look forward to checking out…because there’s always more to learn, right?
Yep, there’s always something to learn! I like following a variety of people, not just productivity or tech peeps. It’s good to get a range of perspectives. Which ones on this list are new to you?
Always great to see your smiling face pop up here. Look forward to catching up in person, Linda. =)
