Welcome to episode 18 of Future Driven! This week, Adam talked with Greg Hickman, owner and founder of AltAgency, a business that helps agencies and individuals grow their businesses without sacrificing every ounce of their time and effort.
Greg has worked for several media agencies throughout his career and has experience with companies of all sizes, including Pepsi and Unilever. In 2012, he started his own podcast and shortly after began his own side business that offered courses on mobile marketing and consultation services.
