If you’re interested in automating the marketing in your business so that it runs without you, then you’re in for a treat. My guests in this week’s episode are Franziska Iseli and Christo Hall, the founders of Basic Bananas – Australia’s leading marketing training organisation. Franziska and Christo have built a business that not only provides real value for their clients but also perfectly complements their shared passion of travel.

These two have also got a load of stuff going on away from Basic Bananas too. Together they’ve co-written two bestselling books, they’re highly sought-after keynote speakers and they’ve had a ton of press, being featured in The Huffington Post, The Sydney Morning Herald and Forbes. I think you’re really going to get a lot out of this one so get comfortable, grab a pen and paper, and give it a listen.

In this episode we get into:
