Here’s more information on Lindsey Kirchoff, the success story from the video above. I met her in Knoxville over coffee and I told her to leave TN/go back to Boston and to focus on blogging and attend HubSpot’s Conference “World’s Largest Gathering of Inbound Marketers.” She went to the conference and really “worked” it in networking and blogging about the conference. Her secret: she had completed the ideal internship under Social Media Guru: David Meerman Scott, her degree from Tufts and references from professors, and her infamous blog: How to Market to Me (Catered to companies reaching out to Millennials). I’m so proud of her and I hope this inspires others to be passionate and work hard because persistence does pay off.
