Today he consults and works directly with bleeding-edge direct response marketing companies and entrepreneurs in a wide variety of categories and in all channels through his two mastermind groups, Titans Mastermind and Titans Master Class (and soon to be a third, Titans Xcelerator). He also publishes books and materials for direct response marketers and writes and speaks regularly at marketing and copywriting events. <br/><br/>The only thing Brian loves more than direct marketing is his family. <br/><br/>And umpiring baseball is right up there with direct marketing.
