Earlier this week I was the guest speaker for Dr. Nick Gerlich's marketing classes at WTAMU. They're online classes, so my guest speakerdom was limited to the interview below, which the class then had to watch online. This wasn't quite as fun as the typical give-and-take interaction in a classroom, but makes it a whole lot easier to share with others.

We talked about a lot of things in 12 minutes, including my day job as a designer and copywriter, the importance of networking and self-marketing, how I use Twitter and Facebook, the practice of transparency in the age of digital oversharing, how I got started writing for Relevant, and the future of books.

If you're interested in any of that stuff — and you have 12 minutes to spare — you'll probably enjoy this video.

Nick's got a few more of these "Class Act" videos up on his YouTube channel. They make for a nice, quick little marketing education.
