  • 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.
