#136: The Best Way to Balance your Crazy Busy Life | Ian Lurie

Ian Lurie is a digital marketing consultant in Seattle, WA. He has a twenty-five-year intolerance of trendy concepts and nonsense. Previously, Ian was CEO at Portent, a digital marketing agency he founded in 1995. He sold it to Clearlink in 2017. He’s now on his own, consulting for brands he loves and speaking at conferences that provide Diet Coke. He’s also trying to become a professional Dungeons & Dragons player, but it hasn’t panned out. He’s written three books about marketing, and has sold over 20 copies. You can find him pedaling his bike up Seattle’s ridiculous hills.
