I founded and continue to run one of the largest digital agencies in the world, Coalition Technologies. I also am a self taught programmer.

I learned marketing when I started my first business, mowing lawns. I went door to door knocking and asking to mow people's lawns. Door to door sales is very hard, but you learn a lot about your customers fast.

I majored in business and my marketing classes there were a waste of time, taught by people who had never actually successfully marketed anything.

I learned a ton working at my first agency, doing web development and SEO and PPC.

I probably learned the most launching my own little e-commerce websites, including one selling digital auto gauges and another gathering mortgage leads for a buddy I partnered with.
