  • Essential tool in the box

    I’ve been listening to Jon and his high calibre of guests for a long time. It’s become an essential part of my marketing toolkit for career development.

    Ask any of Jon’s guest to quote for an hour of their time, and you’ll soon realise the huge ROI on listening with note pad and pen.

    I hope this podcast continues for many years to come.

  • Essential

    As a brand & marketing exec, I have very little free time to stay in touch with latest marketing trends and brightest brand luminaries. John does an excellent job curating both and bringing compelling story tellers to share their wisdom and experiences. This podcast is on my essential list. Should be on yours too.
