PLEASE KINDLY NOTE: The sound was not very clear at times but we decided to still release this free podcast so those interested can have an opportunity to hear this discussion. Every now and then, someone comes along and makes the subject of #management both fun and insightful. That’s what Bill Matassoni has done in his memoir—a combination of compelling stories and contrarian substance—that covers his forty-year career selling what he calls “ephemeral things.” In addition to the memoir, Bill plays host to a series of videos and podcasts that are entertaining, irreverent, and filled with his conviction that #marketing is the primary driver of progress in both commercial and social #markets. We released Bill Matassoni's memoir and documentary series, as well as number of free podcasts.
