Learn MoreA Conversation with Steve Fogg, Scott Overpeck, Dave Ingland, and DJ Chuang Episode Run Time: 35:49 Subscribe to the podcasts in iTunes… I had the opportunity to attend the Cultivate 2011 Conference in Huntington Beach, California on May 4th and 5th. On the last day of the conference there was a Tweet-up at a nearby Starbucks and there I recorded a conversation with these four guys. This podcast is a little less structured than they usually are. There was no preset topic. The conversation just flowed. We touched on church marketing budgets, church signs, the challenge around self-promotion, and leveraging traditional news media for promotion. I know you will gain some valuable insights from the collective insights. Note: This podcast is a little noisier than normal because of the hum of a busy Starbucks.
