Naomi Dunford – wow, what a firecracker this woman she is. She’s a mover and shaker in the world of blogging and internet marketing and it’s been a meteoric rise – partially because of her savvy business and marketing skills, partially because of her provocative, disarming, somewhat scatalogical style. She’s like the Chris Rock of internet marketing, but a 29 year old with a punk haircut rather than a black man. IttyBiz is her company, and currently its tagline is ‘marketing for businesses without marketing departments’.  But I kinda liked an earlier iteration, which was ‘working from home tips to keep you from stabbing your own eye out.’  We did this interview almost a year ago, and since we did Naomi gone’s from success to success. In the interview we talk about:

• The moment that tipped Naomi from being a temp to a powerhouse marketer
• Why it’s not money that gets in the way of people being entrepreneurial, but something else. (Naomi’s got an opinion on that)
• Decisions on her business model (and how it works with her authentic style)
• A great insight she stole from Albert Camus
• My cute accent.  (See, I told you I like her!)
