I’m happy to announce that my interview with Jodi Womack is up at the Escape Hatcher site and also in itunes. I first met Jodi at Presentation Camp last year and haven’t ceased to be inspired by her yet. She’s one of the kindest people I have met on this journey and I know her [...]
One thing I’ve found almost across the board with branding and marketing is that they resonate as “icky” with some people.

Our resident guest blogger and veritable “Escape Artist” Todd Kreisman is off today (out pursuing one of his passions and one which will hopefully become a viable income stream) playing in the World Series of Poker.
