Welcome to the Season 4 premiere of Let’s Talk About Brand!
I’ve been talking to today’s guest for a couple of years now about coming on the program–and I have to say, it's a much more interesting story now than it would have been when we first started talking about having him on. He has done so much more with his personal brand! We can’t wait to share with you the lessons he’s learned along the way.
If you are part of #MarketingTwitter, you definitely know his name. And I, for one, happen to love how he shows up with a point of view that he can back up with experience.
I am excited to welcome Jack Appleby!
Tune in as we talk about:
