Now, he’s a Digital Marketing professor and MBA Program Director at Western Washington University. Prior to teaching, he worked in advertising and product management. Mark is truly an expert in digital marketing and he was one of my favorite professors while I was in college, so I just had to have him on my show. In this episode, Mark talks about the marketing funnel, applying for jobs when you have no experience, becoming a t-shaped marketer, the proper way to network, and how marketing can be used for social change.Mark’s LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mark-staton-phd-1232a04/MoneyTea Resources & Freebies: https://moneyteamarketing.com/resourcesMoneyTea Facebook: @moneyteamarketingMoneyTea LinkedIn: @moneyteamarketingFrances' LinkedIn: @francestjoseFrances' Instagram: @francestjose

In this episode, I chat with serial entrepreneur, Kristi Monte, about topics like lessons for young entrepreneurs, managing your time and business, and setting goals and boundaries. Kristi is only 24 years old and manages FIVE different businesses and tens of revenue streams. I found out about her business last year after finding her podcast "Coffee with Kristi" when I was searching up "ways to grow your email list" and one of her episodes popped up on the first page (A+ on SEO!). Since then, I've regularly listened to her podcast and followed her business journey, and I was so excited when she agreed to come on my show even though it hadn't even released yet! (Oh yeah, we recorded this episode in February). I had such a fun time talking to her and I think you will too.
