My name is Mario. Last name Johnson. I kid. Last name Schulzke.

I am an equal parts entrepreneur, marketer, and teacher. Or at least that is what I tell my mother.

re: entrepreneur. I founded IdeaMensch, where we have interviewed and featured over 8,000 entrepreneurs, makers, and doers.

re: marketer. I spent my twenties running digital marketing campaigns for some of America's biggest brands. Since then, I have been doing the CMO thing at the University of Montana, Geniuslink, and I am now the COO of Pathlabs.

re: teacher. I teach marketing to business students and nonprofit leaders at the University of Montana.

My goal in life used to be to live an interesting life. Then I had a child. I am an immigrant, a grandson of refugees, a (slow)Ironman, and a Costco Exec member. My lifemates are a curly-haired wife, a toddler who won't nap, a cat named Walter, and a vindictive long-haired wiener dog.
