OK… we’ve been slacking off, seriously. Really, Mike got a day job so meshing our scheduled together has been troublesome. But we’re refreshed for 2010 and ready to rock it! In this episode we’re joined by the Affiliate Development Manager for ShareASale, Jason Rubacky. The conversation takes off after some discussion of surname pronunciation. In in this episode we discuss:
- The new trend of DailyBooth.com
- Fantasy football
- VaynerMedia hiring via Twitter & Craigslist – and filming it!
- Techie gifts we got for Christmas
