Rand is a great entrepreneur and one of the world's foremost authorities on inbound marketing. If you're a startup founder, you should watch this video. It's great content, well delivered.

Peldi is a class act. What's admirable here is not that he provided a free $79 license (that's relatively easy). What's admirable is that he responded personally, and irrationally selflessly. Knowing Peldi, I know exactly why he does such
