Digital Marketing Life with Noah Omri Levin

Motivation in Isolation

This episode is in honor of social distancing. It’s just going to be you and me exploring motivation… What makes us tick? What gets us going? Well today I’m excited because I think I’ve cracked some of the code and how it applies to marketing… and I want to share that with you now… Thank you to Steven Pressfield for writing The War of Art [https://stevenpressfield.com/books/the-war-of-art/] See the LinkedIn article of this episode here:

20 - Empathy, Humility & Start-Ups - Dean Levitt - Co-Founder of Mad Mimi and ThymeBase

Dean Levitt is probably one of the most fun people to talk to. His friendly smile is almost as big as his beard but neither can compete with his love of people. It is that love for humanity that has driven his incredibly successful customer-focused career as a co-founder of Mad Mimi, the email platform that GoDaddy acquired in 2014… and now as a resident of the Start-Up nation here in Israel where he is working on a very exciting new project which you’ll hear about… towards the end of the episode… enjoy Dean Levitt's Bio: Raised on a farm in South Africa, Dean moved to the United States to pursue a career in music, eventually finding his way to the tech world. What began as a booking tool for musicians became an email marketing tool that grew to over 200,000 users and an exit to GoDaddy. While growing his previous company, Mad Mimi, Dean realized he had a passion for helping small businesses grow online. Dean is a mentor at 500 Startups, a co-founder of ThymeBase, and an avid surfer. https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanlevitt/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanlevitt/] https://thymebase.com/ [https://thymebase.com/] https://madmimi.com/ [https://madmimi.com/]

19 - Giving Back - Valerie Kroll

This may be my favorite episode yet. It’s a new year and we often talk about giving back at the end of the year… but our hope here was to give some inspiration for all of you to find ways to give back starting now… so without further ado... Today I am joined by Valerie Kroll, The president of the board of directors at the Digital Analytics Association. She is a highly experienced Analytics & Optimization expert who has a big heart and a passion for building up the people around her. We explore the idea of giving back, the benefits of being a person who gives back and many of the forms that it can take. No matter your years of experience, there is something for all of us to take from this one. Enjoy... https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriekroll/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriekroll/]

18 - How to Grow a Business on Etsy - Emily Zimmerman

Emily Zimmerman is a serial entrepreneur who, while working a regular gig, has found time either on her own or with her husband to build and/or spin off small businesses over the last decade. As a previous client and friend I was always amazed at her ability to deliver unique experiences even in saturated industries. Emily approached me to help scale her Etsy business and the conversation went in a surprising but fascinating direction. I’ve been really excited about this episode and, having taken a break for our move across the world, have been able to check in with Emily to give you a glimpse of what happened a few months after we originally recorded the episode… enjoy…
