Dimitri Vorona is one of those people who gets significantly more interesting the more you get to know him.

You run a conference? Oh, you sold a business to Earthlink? You rip it on guitar!?! You’re in eComm, run a SaaS business AND have been doing this since the mid 90s like an OG!?

Really enjoyed having him on the podcast after connecting at ECF Live. And make sure to check out his event, innovate.show, coming up this Fall. Have heard good things and believe Sean Frank, Jason Panzer and others are speaking!
