Jim’s hack: A video marketing tip. When you do your marketing, whether it is a video or an email, always talk as if you are talking to 1 person. People want 1 on 1 interaction. If you can come up with an avatar that’s even better.

Conor’s tip: Now thy processes. That’s when you can begin to delve in, and you might find some stuff where you are banging your head against the wall when you might not ever did it.

Tyson’s tip: An iPhone tip. Whenever you are typing on your iPhone and you misspelled a word or you have to type in another letter in there, there’s a function where if you hold down the spacebar and drag it from side to side it moves your cursor and you can easily navigate through the letters.
