Bobby Marhamat

Bobby Marhamat loves spending his days with business leaders who are working to achieve success in scaling their companies. He looks forward to meeting people who want to do better in life, matching actions to their words.

Besides enjoying technology at work, Bobby has fun tinkering with home automation and his vegetable garden. (He’s known for his hot peppers.) To combine his love of home automation and gardening, he’s intent on programming his outdoor irrigation system to water based on the local rain forecast. Once the watering system is working flawlessly, Bobby can indulge in his other passions – traveling and reading. He’s also the author of two other books: Trying to Keep My Business from Being Left Behind in this Social Media World and The “B” Word: Becoming Foolishly Bold in Creating the Ultimate “Brand.” Bobby’s business articles often appear online for Forbes, Social Media Today, LinkedIn, and his own website.
