In This Episode:
Margo Aaron is the “recovering academic” and copy nerd behind the cheeky website That Seems Important. While she calls herself the “accidental marketer” – her full-time writing career is certainly no accident!
Her work has been featured in Inc, Huffington Post, Thought Catalog, The Observer, Copyhackers, Entrepreneur and more.
She also co-hosts “Hillary and Margo Yell at Websites” – a hilarious show that’s been named one of the Top 7 Best Marketing shows.
Now Margo runs a coaching program for perfectionists who are ready to focus on their own work (instead of their clients’).
This episode is packed full of eye-opening quotables that you’ll want to post up on your wall.
So join us today as we chat about how Margo breaks through resistance, deals with the “head trash” that holds so many people back, and built a brand that people drool over.
