E.209 Point of View Marketing w/ Tad Hargrave

Tad Hargrave is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned to be a hippy again).

He spent his late teens being schooled in a mixed bag of approaches to sales and marketing – some manipulative and some not. When that career ended, he spent a decade unlearning and unpacking what he'd been through.

How had he been swept up in it? Why didn't those approaches work as well as advertised? Were there ways of marketing that both worked better and felt better to all involved? It took him time but he began to find a better way to market.

By 2006, he had become one of the first, full-time 'conscious business' marketing coaches (for hippies) and created a business where he could share the understanding he had come to: Marketing could feel good. You didn't have to choose between marketing that worked (but felt awful) or marketing that felt good (but got you no clients).

Since 2001, he has been touring his marketing workshops around Canada, the United States, Europe, and online, bringing refreshing and unorthodox ideas to conscious entrepreneurs and green businesses that help them grow their organizations and businesses (without selling their souls). Instead of charging outrageous amounts, he started doing most of his events on a pay what you can basis. He is the author of sixteen books and workbooks on marketing.
