Craig is the owner and principal at <a href=\"http:\/\/geckojones.com\/\">Gecko Jones<\/a>, a marketing and product management company whose main goal is helping your organization to reach the next level.<\/p>\n<p>It was kind of interesting how I even got the interview.  In Episode 6 of the podcast, I reviewed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Choose-Yourself-James-Altucher-ebook\/dp\/B00CO8D3G4\">Choose Yourself<\/a> book by James Altucher.  I tweeted out the podcast and James was kind enough to RT me.  On that show, I put out a call for ideas or volunteers for interviews and Craig stepped up.  That is the power of social media at work right there!<\/p>\n<p>In the episode, I talk to Craig about product planning and marketing. We not only talk about how to know if you have a viable product and how to promote it, but we also talk about self-promotion and how to get along better with the &#8220;creatives&#8221; over in marketing.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t already listened, check it out.  It will definitely help you be a more well-rounded developer!<\/p>\n<p>You can also subscribe to the podcast at any of these places:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-pete-on-software-podcast\/id789451013?mt=2&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/images\/Podcast\/iTunes.png\" style=\"border:none;\" alt=\"iTunes Link\" title=\"iTunes Link\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/pospfiles\/posp.xml\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/images\/Podcast\/Rss.png\" style=\"border:none;\" alt=\"RSS Feed\" title=\"RSS Feed\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all the people who listen, and a special thanks to those who have rated me.
