Working Together - with Guests Laura McGuire and Jason Clewell EP 15

On today’s episode, Darren and Kim interview another couple in business, Laura McGuire and Jason Clewell, to about the adventures and challenges of being a married couple doing business together. Laura and Jason spent 20 years working with clients on brand definition, marketing roadmaps, creative development, and websites. They built their own CPG brand from scratch and launched with their own money, grew the business, and then sold it after seven years to truly understand what their clients face from start to finish.  They know how challenging it can be and how every dollar needs to count. They’ve worked in every marketing channel and are not afraid to say when something hasn’t delivered. In addition to operating for their clients, they currently run an affiliate site, and Jason is an oil painter and sells his artwork, as well as website services to artists.
