What do you stand for? Defining your values may seem like just an interesting exercise, but truly living by them can give you the answers to the questions and challenges facing you. Learn from someone who has seen it all in life, from growing up in a Soviet country and immigrating to the U.S. to teaching himself SEO and fostering young children after a series of miscarriages.
Roman is a first-generation immigrant from Lviv, Ukraine. He became a self-taught digital marketer in the 2008 recession and founded his own agency in 2012. He is the host of the Digital Savage Experience Podcast and a foster parent to twenty children and counting.
Quotes to remember:
“That experience you went through is more important, a lot of times, than knowledge.”
