Reading Time: 6 minutes I woke up this morning and looked at the date. It’s October 2020. Wow. I’ve been at this ‘digital marketing’ game for 4 years now since I started Pearl Lemon back in 2016.

Reading Time: 6 minutes I’d just been rapping back and forth with George, an old friend of mine for a few days and at the same time I’d noticed that our inbound leads had taken a 45% drop – which was hugely concerning for me. This gave me cause to ask my SEO team – what’s going on? Why…

Reading Time: 6 minutes ‘I can’t believe they didn’t bring out the mircha!’ I complained as my mum told me to calm down. ‘Don’t worry Deepak I’m sure they’ll be here in a minute!’. ‘3 minutes went by as I saw cokes being served at other tables, as well as orders being taken’. ‘Excuse me?’ Ah yes, sir how…
Reading Time: 6 minutes On May 15th 2020 I had something of an epiphany. It became apparent that for perhaps the last decade of my life or more (probably more) – I’d stopped learning on a consistent basis.
