[01:05] SEO is changing because of voice searches.
[01:25] Marketing is going to change so much over the next few years, that whatever you’re doing now will probably be defunct.

[02:15] In the next five to ten years, we will see more change than we saw in the last ten or fifteen.
[02:42] Eric and Neil are aware of what is coming and are trying to plan ahead.

[03:42] If you have a team, make sure people are experimenting with and testing methods.
[04:12] The data from this will help you adapt.
[05:00]  Google Authentication was performing well for a few years before it started tanking.
[05:10] The market is moving at such a quick pace, things that worked 6 months to a year ago, will no longer be effective.

[05:49] Managing Oneself is another good resource. It talks about feedback analysis and will help you understand how to take stock of your strengths.
[06:43] Hire people with skills that are complementary to your own.
[07:00] Eric and Neil believe you need to be prepared for the future of marketing. Learn to adapt! Be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
