Keith Commins:
Lessons learned from 4 years of Travel – From corporate stooge rotting in a cubicle to a life of freedom and adventure After years of working in corporate sweatshops building networks and managing systems, Keith Commins took a look out across Dublin from his office one grey January evening and decided enough was enough. Tired of dealing with Dilbert-esque bosses, petty office politics and pointless meetings, he decided the only way to live of freedom and adventure was to become an entrepreneur. With absolutely no idea where to start, he chose to start a web design agency which has now become to “go-to” design agency for conversion-concerned marketers across the world.

His clients include guys like Ben Settle, Doberman Dan, Jon McCulloch and other noted luminaries within the “direct response” marketing community.

He has used this business to live a life of freedom and adventure, visiting 40 countries in the last few years with stints in the US, Thailand, Barcelona and Colombia. His mission is to continue to develop his business to new heights and inspire others to do the same.

For his talk he will be discussing how to use email marketing to build your business from scratch – whether it’s a product or service based business, in addition to lessons learned from 4 years of non-stop travel.
