EPISODE 1 | We Started a Business, Now We Start a Podcast?

In the inaugural episode of Velocitea, co-founders Emily Freeman and Forrest Brazeal finally sit down in the same room (a rare event!) to talk about how Freeman & Forrest came to be, what “influencer marketing for B2B SaaS” actually means, and why tech marketing could use a little more humanity. They unpack what surprised them most about leaving Big Tech to bootstrap their own company, why influencer strategy isn’t about chasing the biggest names, and how being outside the typical tech hubs gives them a different lens on the industry. Also: potatoes, rage quitting, and unsolicited career advice.
