    Crossover Episode with the Rivergate Marketing Podcast

    We are doing something a little different with this episode of Talking Industrial Automation because TIA host Lisa Richter was invited to be a guest on the Rivergate Marketing Podcast,  produced by Rivergate Marketing, a full-service digital marketing company and CSIA member. This episode touches on a little bit about a lot of things – from marketing to the CSIA Conference to the upcoming CSIA Makreting workshop. 
    Even if you don’t plan to attend the conference, this crossover episode still offers some insights you might be interested in and maybe even a spicy take or two. (RIP Koozie). If this doesn’t sound like something you’d be into, that’s okay. IIA will be back with the regular programming with the next episode.

Great Show!

Wonderful podcast. I loved hearing about Steve March and Schneider Electric. It was a very interesting conversation.

If you have the chance, I recently dove into the podcast space. Would love to her what you think. Check out “The Right Direction Podcast” from Compass Precision.
