Stop everything you are doing and listen to this podcast! Seriously, if you have never met or had the opportunity to listen to Avinash Kaushik, you must hear this podcast .... I guarantee you will learn something!


Sometimes you meet someone so passionate about something that it's contagious and if you listen closely you can hear me firing off emails to my team in the background about what I am hearing and learning on this podcast.
I had the opportunity to do a podcast with Avinash to discuss some areas where marketers are doing things right and wrong but all of them are simple but extremely powerful uses of web analytics to make their websites and businesses better on the web. We also took some live Twitter questions as we were doing the podcast. But stop reading this and start listening to Avinash .... its 25 minutes long but positively electric!
