Devesh Khanal (http://deveshdesign.com/) and Benji Hyam (http://www.benjihyam.com/) are our special guests. They met in person one time and that was their very first meeting while at a dinner event in San Francisco. All it took was a small complaint about content marketing, sharing of plans to write a book which turned into mentions of a blog, and voila!
