About Ian Agard
"My journey into a career in tech sales is a unique story. I first worked as a professional TV and film actor, director and producer for 10 years appearing in TV shows like The Expanse and Hollywood movies like Resident Evil. [FUN FACT: At least once a week, someone tells me I look like Idris Elba, lol]. After going back to college, I made a career switch into SaaS sales.
By day, I help attorneys save time and make their lives easier by educating them on the benefits of cloud-based legal case software.
I also moonlight as a sales podcast host and co-founder of Grind, which is an online learning platform and community that helps people who are committed to succeeding in software sales.
When I'm not growing my digital empire, I enjoy living a well-rounded life, including: prioritizing my faith in God, quality time with my wife and daughter, reading life-changing books, singing and playing guitar in my church worship band.

About Casey Hill
"I have had quite an unorthodox career path, to say the least.
I started working in sales at an enterprise-focused SaaS organization, bounced over to consulting in the bioengineering world, and then landed at an engineering SaaS.
Didn't love it, decided to take a year off and write a book and start a company. In 2015, I launched HGC, an eCommerce business that would culminate in 2018 with an 800% funded Kickstarter and went on to set up distribution in over 15 countries.
While working on that I decided to try by hand at another SaaS organization, this time one focused on inbound marketing and small businesses. Absolutely fell in love with the technology that helped entrepreneurs bring their dreams to life. I went from an SDR to the Sales Director in 3 years and while working there also started to try my hand at business consulting.
Today, I run the growth department for an incredibly exciting start-up called Bonjoro. We focus on helping businesses reconnect in a human way with their customers through personal video. I have seen first hand the transformative impact Bonjoro has had, on industries as diverse as enterprise SaaS to DTC eCommerce.
My greatest strength, I believe, is an obsessive, ceaseless desire to keep learning and testing things. I constantly test new channels and mediums. I constantly run small side businesses to validate ideas. Last month I put together two courses for a brand called Amplified Masterclass that teaches businesses earned media strategies. So far it's made a few thousands dollars.
Most of all I enjoy it. I love what I do, and if I don't, I change gears."
