A legitimate marketing math guy!

Good marketing these days, is good, because behind that marketing somewhere is a math and tracking guy. Scott is one of those guys. Tracking is becoming harder than it used to. Especially for someone like me who’s bad at math stuff. Great show. Gonna get wicked reports once I level up.
