We’re back with another episode of DBO with Keith Perhac. This week, Keith chats with Anansi’s Say Gabriel. Say’s main goal in life is to create cohesive systems that support strong communities. Frustrated by watching stressed-out digital leaders get mired in constantly shoring up shoddy systems, Say set her focus to the digital world a decade ago, just as it was rising in impact on everyday life. Today, Say helps agency leaders troubleshoot and build strong marketing, operations, and admin systems.

Matt Giovanisci is a jack of all trades with a broad knowledge of all aspects of marketing. He founded swimuniversity.com, co-founded a personal finance brand and podcast called listenmoneymatters.com, and started a coffee education website called Roasty (which he has since sold). In 2016 he created moneylab.co so he could build more brands, make more money, and write off his homebrewing hobby. Money Lab focuses on No B.S. Marketing - it's honest, straight forward and cuts to the chase. Which is exactly what my conversation with Matt was like for Data Beats Opinion.
