Peter Shankman, "Doing hurts less than quitting, so I don't quit."

Just some of the entrepreneurial insights from Peter Shankman who the New York Times called "a rockstar who knows everything about social media and then some."

In this episode, Allison and Peter discuss:

• How ignoring the haters in your life improves your life.
