Today’s guest is someone whose work I’ve admired from afar for quite some time.

I never knew that one day another guest would, out of the blue, make one of those “Hey, you guys should meet!” introductions.

Thank you, Steve Woodruff!

His name is Mark Schaefer. Mark has more than 30 years of experience in global marketing, organizational development and business consulting.

Mark’s the author of seven books. HIs new book is Marketing Rebellion: The Most Human Company Wins. And I loved it!

In it, Mark provides an achievable and realistic framework to help you stay ahead of the curve by reimagining marketing in a world where hyper-empowered consumers drive the business results.
