This week on BOP, I talked to Alfred Lua - Marketing Lead at Referral Candy. Previously, he did product marketing, content marketing, and community at Buffer. Outside of work, he has experimented with several side projects, including a paid newsletter and an e-commerce store. And on top of that, he swims, cycles, and runs as a triathlete.   Alfred's story is unique because not only does he credit the hiring team at Buffer because they took a bet on him but he also helps and mentors college students that want to break into the industry. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/betonpeople/message
