Ep #123 - This week on the Marketing Geeks Podcast, we sit down with the Aaron Iara, creator of The Effective Nerd. It's the geeks versus the nerd as we settle the debate once and for all as to who is cooler, geeks or nerds... It turns out it's nerds, so it got awkward quick. 
Our guest, Aaron Iara, describes himself as a life-long nerdy person with a wide variety of interests and a passion for making music.
After graduating college, Aaron found himself in a position where his degree wasn't landing him jobs and his student loan debt was piling up. It was at this point that he began working smarter, not harder so he could lead a productive life while maintaining his nerdy obsessions. The only alternative would be accept a soul deadening job that would pay the bills, but come at the cost of his quality of life.
Over the past decade, he's built up his skill-sets and maintained The Effective Nerd blog which continues to grow in popularity. He's navigated the speed bumps, survived the scares and now has begun to teach others how he has been able to make a living WITHOUT a corporate job.
