We had our notes prepared for this show to discuss how Ampsy helps businesses manage event and influencer marketing, along with the power and the future of conversion marketing...

...and then we started actually talking.

Yes, we still hit those topics BUT we also dove into:

• the impact of the Facebook data security "breach" (it actually wasn't that)
• the pre-yesPHX days
• the current Phoenix startup scene from a company that's IN it

Check out THEIR new podcast here, plus their informative company blog here, and of course they're on social media (and you should follow them) on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Jeff progressed through the ranks of Tuft & Needle in just under four years after starting as a software engineer there in 2014. He is an integral part of the team, currently serving not only as Vice President of Amazon but also as VP of Analytics...two hugely important roles.

His dedication to the Greater Phoenix startup community didn't start there though as he was the founder/executive director of the Arizona Microcredit Initiative for almost 3 years while attending Arizona State University after moving here from Oregon.

Jeff sits down with Vincent to discuss:

• WHY he believes in the #yesPHX community as a top destination for tech, startups and business
• his high-level and day-to-day duties
• how it feels when legacy competitors in your industry start taking notice of what you're doing to steal their market share and disrupt the status quo
• some of what was behind the T&N decision to make their product available on Amazon (article quoted here)

Connect with Jeff on LinkedIn here.

Learn more about the Tuft & Needle story here.

See how a marketing campaign by a legacy competitor against T&N didn't quite work out as planned.
