Digital maverick ,

Great show, my Friday weekly listen

My favorite show is the Friday show, because I think it covers a little bit everything. Great content, Marcus has a great job, and really great chemistry with the folks on the line. I feel like I learn four or five things that I can apply to my job each episode. Great work.

laura doesnt like this ,

Marcus and the team always provide interesting commentary on the latest news in digital marketing. It helps me be (or at least,sound) smarter at work

Gori20 ,
