  • A conversation with podcaster and founder of Mimiran, Reuben Schwartz
    Apr 25 2024

    Reuben Swartz is the founder of Mimiran, the fun Customer Relations Manager for independent consultants who love serving clients but hate "selling". He's also the host and chief nerd on the Sales for Nerds podcast. He went from a background in computer science and software engineering to sales and marketing consulting for the Fortune 500, while struggling with sales and marketing for his own firm. His mission is to help other independent consultants make a bigger dent in the universe and get more clients by using their talents to teach instead of market, connect instead of network, and help instead of sell.

Brilliant

I"m so glad to have been interviewed by my old friend Joseph and to meet Meridith. They are the best. They really listen to my answers to their questions. Their questions are so insightful and bring out the best. I enjoyed their company, their show, and have recommended it to all my friends. This is the the place to really learn how other artists negotiate their world and bring out the best in themselves.
THANK YOU THANK YOU to Joseph and Meridith for bringing this podcast into our lives!
