What is your professional goal?

One, to dramatically scale a new breed of marketing services firm — one fundamentally steeped in data analysis and analytics. That is happening; data has become the new sexy in marketing because insights allow a business to be more effective than ever before. Two, I want that growth to translate to making a positive influence in the lives of others. … Growing a business is hard and full of stress so at the end of the day if you are not doing it to provide for something greater than yourself, greater than the company, then I would question the point of doing it at all.
