Two years after graduating from Harvard with a degree in Applied Math, I quit my corporate job to travel the world with my then girlfriend for 5 years. Together we visited over 60 countries. During that time I launched and exited from my first SaaS, NinjaOutreach, an influencer marketing platform. Nowadays I run Shortlist.io, a boutique digital marketing agency. Our team is 20 people strong and we work on cool problems.

I've been on dozens of podcasts and my style is always to be engaging, energetic, and transparent - often focusing more on the realities and the failures than the highlights.

Questions and topics we covered include:

• The story of NinjaOutreach and what lessons do you take from that experience into the agency you manage today?
• The latest trends in link building, whether or not link building is still an effective way to increase rankings
• How to select websites (what's a good target what's a bad target)
• Behind the scenes look at your data from building thousands of links
• What to expect in terms of results (how long does it take to rank)
• When linkbuilding is most effective and who it's most effective for
• Google Generative Search experience, thoughts on how it will affect marketers?
• Go to SEO and MarTech tools…
