106: How Joe Glover built the loveliest community in marketing, The Marketing Meetup

This week Glover’s in the air(waves), everywhere I look around, as we catch Joe from The Marketing Meetup for a positively lovely chinwag.  The kind of guy who gives marketing a good name, Joe Glover is the smile behind a growing community of marketers that’s currently 25,000 strong. At weekly events, his community hears from Oscar nominees, disabled rights champions, and marketing heroes such as Ritson, Rory, and many of the world’s best-known marketers. Lend us your ears as we talk Cantona, self-worth, salary, “inventing” the marketing funnel, how growth enables impact, why he never gives advice, shooting for the States when he should’ve shot for the moon, building a brand with love and kindness at its core, how he built the most welcoming community in marketing, and so much more.///// Follow Joe on Twitter and LinkedIn Check out The Marketing Meetup Join their online or in person events And get your grubby mitts on their newsletter  Here’s Joe’s choice cut of TMM Talks to treat yourself to: Why your website visitors are not converting by Mary OwusuHow to deliver great presentations, speeches and pitches by Max HoppyHow to break away from billable time and charge for creativity by Giles EdwardsHow to launch a business or project you love by Sophie CrossHow to find the right marketing messaging by Diane WireduThank you to everyone who has lent their ears and their brains for over 100 episodes of the Call To Action® podcast.
