David Fallarme was a recognized name in my inbox for some years; with newsletters that you used to popup once in a while from Hubspot. Eventually I also started getting emails from him about Marketing catchups and roundtables of APACMarketers.com. Having been a regular in the roundtables and a member of the community, it gave me a chance to understand the mind of a 'Good Marketer'; and I decided to reach out to David to come on the show.
