This episode was a bit of an experiment, nevertheless, a lot of fun. Paul Feiner, Director of Marketing at The Big Know, joined me to talk about product marketing at a local startup. Paul leads the product development of The Big Know with various backgrounds in BA, content marketing, and social marketing. He even has has a side hobby, I Love Minnesota Sports, a Facebook page dedicated to Minnesota sports fans.I've worked with Paul while at GoKart Labs and really admire his witty demeanor and empathy for the end user. Paul is as nice as they come, very passionate, and because he's been honing his craft for the past few years, I wanted to have him on the podcast to talk a little about product marketing at startups through the lens of The Big Know.Hopefully you find this episode as interesting as I did. If you want to hear more from product marketers like Paul, please leave a request below. As I mentioned, this episode was a bit experimental, but if there's an interest in knowing more product marketing as it relates to martech, adtech, digital marketing, or measurement let me know.

We teamed up with the MPLS MadWomen to spark a conversation and dig into the ingrained, gender-specific perceptions about “strength” and “weakness” and how they show up in the workplace. We have hauled these biases around with us long enough, and we thought it was time to take a look at them in a new way and maybe start to lighten up from the burden they bring. Guests include Alison Beattie of Target & MPLS MadWomen, Erinn Farrell of space150, and Chad Gillard of GoKart Labs & Midwest Pantry. This conversation was facilitated by Professional Humans Elli Rader and Josh Berg, and recorded live at the River Room at the Aster Cafe on April 25, 2016.

“I think bands have taught me more about life and business than any other experience I've had.” Don Smithmier is a self-described serial entrepreneur. He's co-founded Rumble Music, GoKart Labs, Sophia Learning, Bring Me The News, Network Music Lab, and the Big Know. Smithmier is also co-founder, songwriter, and performer with the band Rocket Club. And he's a father to three daughters. In this conversation, Don talks about building a career around the internet without thinking of himself as a tech guy. He talks about the creative work involved in being an entrepreneur, the importance of good people over good ideas, and why he pursues the projects he pursues. Don also talks about running multiple businesses while being a father to three daughters and how important it is to have a strong marriage in order to be able to focus on business.
Josh and Elli kickoff a “What if” series in an interview with Chad Gillard, co-founder of Midwest Pantry. They dig right into how he manages to hold down a really challenging full time gig at GoKart Labs, while running Midwest Pantry AND raising 3 children who have interests like EverySport and Irish Dancing.
