On a more personal note...
On September 1st, 2009, Randy received a Stage 4 Cancer diagnosis. Nine days later – in incredible pain – a client arrived unannounced at his hospital room, told him to lay still and be quiet. The visitor put his hand on Randy's shoulder and told him he was giving energy... Randy is still here today; energised, focussed and determined not to waste the opportunity (his or yours or the gift of life he received). Since then, Randy has:
 * Battled back and beat his cancer
 * Taken up kayaking for exercise
 * Embraced a love for photography: macro, nature, animals... (view)
 * Obtained an honours distinction in inbound marketing
 * In 2010, he spent $20 (+$50 promo from Google) on an AdWords campaign and earned roughly $12,000 from the investment within two weeks, took that $12,000 and reinvested it in content marketing, further earning in the neighbourhood of $300,000 in under a year. He now works with a long list of companies to improve their online marketing ROI with many of them earning in the millions of dollars monthly from their improved websites.
 * Self-financed and launched Kayak Online Marketing, taking the firm from virtual unknown to online marketing industry-leader in under a year
