Jason: When I first started ActiveCampaign, I handled every customer inquiry myself no matter the size. I’d spend hours making sure that customers got what they needed. And I saw early on what a huge difference it made in retention and referrals. I found there was a real need for this kind of advanced tech at an affordable price for businesses of all sizes. There’s a misconception that small businesses are simple, but they actually have complex needs and limited resources. That’s where we support them.
Clinay: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! There is an immense need for underserved black and brown youth to be introduced to non-technical roles in tech, game, and production companies. Many of these youth fall through the cracks when they clearly have an innate talent that is not being recognized by teachers, family members, and others. In fact, they may have numerous opportunities in the tech world — many jobs and careers are being created daily that don’t require a computer science or engineering background.
