Hello everyone, my name is John Wall and this is where I write about Marketing and whatever else I find interesting (your mileage may vary). I also have a weekly podcast called The M Show which is great for your commute to work (or even if you don't commute). You can also listen to Marketing Over Coffee, a podcast I do with Christopher Penn. BTW, I don't look this good, I have a great photographer. I can be reached at: john at themshow dot com
