"Ever wonder what the early Western settlers were thinking? They were trailblazers willing to risk everything to explore the new world. Social media is the new frontier, and Amy Jo Martin is handing us the GPS needed to navigate this new order. If you are selling, marketing, or branding, Renegades Write the Rules is the book you'd better be reading."

At a moment when we have so much to learn from each other, Amy Jo's grounded voice and passion for social media provide a catalyst to engage, connect, and capture our collective capacity to empower—and provoke—a movement that can move us forward, together and as individual creative voices."

To my Dad, my mentor renegade.
I’m forever grateful that you took me straight to the top of the double black diamond that day and made me skip the bunny slope.
And to you, Mom, thank you for your constant empowerment. You’re the most positive person I know. I love you both.
