In this episode of the AFSA Extra Credit Podcast, we talk with Danny Cantrell, CEO and Co-founder of Solutions by Text. Danny has played an integral role at AFSA and is a mainstay at AFSA conferences and events. His expertise and thoughtfulness have helped accentuate the important role that AFSA business partners play in the association.
We chat about how the COVID-19 pandemic has shaped the text notification business and the valuable role that AFSA members are playing in ensuring that consumers stay up to date. We also talk a bit about best practices for multichannel communication, the recent SBT Huddle Week, and we take a quick detour to talk about Danny’s true passion: the Dallas Cowboys.
