Doug is putting some great stories and conversations center stage on this show. Tremendous insight for listeners in all aspects of life and business. I enjoyed my time as a guest talking about the rise and fall of Haliey Welch. Highly recommend checking this podcast out!
Apple Podcasts5jasoncerconeUnited States8 months ago - Connecting with my PR side
I’m a journalist in agriculture (with a new podcast, The Extensionists) and I like to hear Doug’s tips for how and how not to boost a brand. You could say we’re all in public relations no matter what job we do. After listening to the Jaguar episode, I will definitely scratch “Zoolander video” from my to-do list.
