Ep. #43 - Interview with John Wall, Co-host of Marketing Over Coffee Podcast

In this special episode, I’ll be joined by John Wall, co-host of Marketing Over Coffee. If you haven't subscribed to Marketing Over Coffee already, I'd urge you to do so right now. It’s one of my favourite marketing podcasts and it’s also one of the most highly-regarded marketing podcasts with over half a million downloads annually. The show follows a unique format — John Wall and his co-host Christopher Penn record most of their episodes in a local coffee shop where they discuss the latest marketing trends and occasionally invite marketing influencers to share their unique perspectives.

Past guests on the show have included thought leaders and influencers like Seth Godin, Rand Fishkin, and Simon Sinek, among many others.

John Wall is also the head of biz dev at the marketing data and analytics consulting firm, Trust Insights.

At Trust Insights, John’s team uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to help their customers make better decisions. So the main focus of this episode will be on how AI and machine learning can be used in marketing. But John will also be sharing his unique insights on SEO, social media marketing, and entrepreneurship. Super excited to have John Wall on the show and I hope you enjoy listening to this exchange.
