Reboot Your Life. Your Future Depends on It](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1455523305/freshspotpubl-20) and enjoyed it very much, I asked Mitch to answer some questions for us. As I was reading. it struck me how similar Mitch and I think. We're both talking about the revolution going on in business today, but we come at if from different perspectives. Oh, and we’re both live music fans Mitch is President of Twist Image - one of the largest independent Digital Marketing agencies in North America (although he prefers the title, Media Hacker). So while I spend my days worrying about me, Mitch has many clients and employees… and he still finds time to write a great [blog](http://www.twistimage.com/blog/) and create important books.
