Mendoza’s Monday Member Showcase

Dave Mendoza talks with one of our members...
Dave's guest today is Kevin Plantan who is a VP at ERE Media.

It seems Dave and Kevin have a lot more in common than a passion for the industry:

You see I love Mohitos and Kevin does as well, and can appreciate my liquid toxin as a fellow colleague to pull a chair and start the conversation so that we can all catch up on what we have been doing since the last Conference event we saw one another. Few people are as sincere and as informative.

Hmmm...one Mohito too many, Dave?
