On this episode, I’m joined by John Hunt. John is the Senior Manager of Digital Marketing, Communication, and Content for Smead Manufacturing, a leader in office filing products and records management systems for over 100 years. John has more than 25 years experience in both traditional and non-traditional media.
The reason I invited John to jump on a podcast recording with me is because he is also the host of the “Keeping You Organized” weekly video and audio podcast which is produced by Smead. And, that’s what we discussed on this episode.
