Interview with HubSpot Marketing Fellow Sam Mallikarjunan is an entrepreneur and teaches Advanced Digital Marketing at the Harvard Division of Continuing Education.

Today I'm joined by a man who teaches Advanced Digital Marketing at the Harvard Division of Continuing Education. He is the co-author of the book “How To Sell Better Than Amazon” and a Marketing Fellow at HubSpot. Welcome to DMR, Sam Mallikarjunan. [You can find Sam over at Mallikarjunan.com.] On this episode of Digital Marketing Radio we discuss why the world of marketing changing so quickly, with topics including: When you say the world of marketing is changing rapidly, do you mean marketing principles or just tactics and technologies? What aspect of marketing is changing the most rapidly and why? What kind of marketing traits do you tens to see between the most successful businesses nowadays? How should marketers and digital entrepreneurs keep up with the changes? How can you protect your business from being disrupted in this fast changing environment? When a business is trying to build a marketing team, what should they look for in new hires to help to future proof their abilities? Do you think that marketers need to be generalists or specialists? Is it still a good idea for a small business to try to appeal to a global audience nowadays or does being locally focused allow you to build a stronger buyer persona? [Tweet ""Comfort kills. Be the disruption you want to see in the world." @Mallikarjunan @hubspot"] Software I couldn't live without What software do you currently use in your business that if someone took away from you, it would significantly impact your marketing success? Slack [Team communication] What software don't you use, but you've heard good things about, and you've intended to try at some point in the near future? Snapchat [Social sharing] My number 1 takeaway What's the single most important step from our discussion that our listeners need to take away and implement in their businesses? Comfort kills. Be the disruption you want to see in the world. If you were going to beat your company, how would you do it? If you were going to deliver more value for your customers, how would you do it? It's a hard, emotional business strategic decision to say that "I am going to kill my own model, or test against my own model". And frankly it required courage. But even though you've survived 100 years, you may not survive the next 10 if you don't stay focused on that.

During the course of her service work in the nonprofit sector, Claudia Espinosa became more aware of the inequalities that marginalized populations, such as immigrants and women, faced every day in the United States and around the world. Her dedication to serve can be demonstrated through her work at the Latina Institute, Communilife, Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC, and UN Women. Her work with the Latina Institute and her vocation with Latina adolescents, helped her understand the disadvantages that her community experiences everyday and gave her the opportunity to create changes that can help Latino families live more positive lives. In 2012, Ms. Espinosa founded the L.O.V.E. Mentoring Program, inspired by her experience working for a suicide prevention program where she counseled Latina adolescents with depression and suicidal ideations. After witnessing first-hand the overwhelming difficulties that inflict young Latinas, she was prompted to further investigate the particular challenges within the Latina community. Upon discovering the many studies that reveal staggering discrepancies between the rates of suicide, teen pregnancy, and high school dropouts for young Latinas and their peers, Ms. Espinosa recognized a clear and distinct need for the development of enhanced support systems—such as those that may be provided through building a close relationship with a positive role model. Ms. Espinosa currently serves as the Executive Director of the L.O.V.E. Mentoring Program. In 2010, she received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Forensic Psychology with Magna Cum Laude honors from CUNY. In May 2013, she received her second Master’s degree in Public Administration from the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at NYU. She also completed the Professional Development Program, Managing Yourself and Leading Others, from the Harvard Division of Continuing Education in August of 2013. As a self-made professional Latina, she wants to show young Latinas that with determination, passion, and faith in ourselves, anything is possible. What you'll learn The biggest issues Latinas face in the US What inspired Claudia to start the LOVE mentoring program Why the highest rate of suicide attempts in NYC is among Latinas Claudia's dream and her journey The huge importance of exposing young Latinas to mentors that show them that success is possible.
