Dr. James R Gregory and I discuss Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine as well as his advertising and branding career
20.9.2024
42:15
Dr. James R. Gregory is the founder of NYLAQ Advisors. He is also chairman emeritus of Tenet Partners, a global brand innovation and marketing firm based in New York, NY. One of the key secrets to his success was his passion for writing. Over the next four decades, he wrote a series of business books that helped build not only our business brand but also my personal reputation. Some of the titles he crafted include “Marketing Corporate Image,” “Leveraging the Corporate Brand,” “Branding Across Borders,” “The Best of Branding,” and “Powerhouse, the Secrets of Corporate Branding.” After successfully exiting the business, he embarked on a new journey – writing fiction. He quickly discovered that his favorite genre was short reads in the form of novellas. Drawing upon extensive business experiences, personal life, and current events, he crafts stories that can be enjoyed in just one sitting, whether it’s an evening at home or a cross-country flight.Zephyr's War: https://www.amazon.com/Zephyrs-War-Targeted-Foremost-Capitalist/dp/1636983650/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QADCGC4ET0RR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DhhOxtjQqKPVyYWN1zuURUqrfHtxU9rAmpYSLqLsJjw8jz1nI5eARzYPTuchFGbRGP0CkraOEu5A_k28MdsSq-Vv1luCoriDMVlDDKxc3rKeA2o7CSBEpHQUCXOfqY8sYyJJilt63fHNEDWJwLX1XRVx5NlXdEQ3ZbBdyMOY0215ZF3LTSGNoMc602KRR8BINnd8DTrFd7_0YXJnrpleaf4vtkgiGI3Bamx8o8vILgc.0G8ELwoDzPzU37Sl21yTTSC8J97eGuSwosL_iNsdMTo&dib_tag=se&keywords=zephyr%27s+War+book&qid=1726515182&sprefix=zephyr%27s+war+boo%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-1Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine: https://www.amazon.com/Eleanor-Oliphant-Completely-Fine-Novel-ebook/dp/B01KGZVTOE/ref=sr_1_1?crid=NMMJPYP2H9XI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pZAhWmzAkhQtMdAkYCeYfNUwNrlmdJYdJRDqdFfoEtSkLtYi4aOCGvt2ApEqKao0ytbDy-brIF9bgMZQDwqBr9nSGYMt-oU2MUzN4WrTQPKUNfs51h_Xh7VsW5QFCJVhiWFQR6KH9Dp8oofU2RGmkn4d6SdBa81kkPStLwJExZv4zUJHHUH-Awjxux_ZYLCh5pZX16H17Ts3vudsq96WeKGIlmsKxXuJ_sHTY4Abc6g.W8CQ8lAOYds8qtJ1H1MuwyYzNpw7SBt8YSquz7WKlVY&dib_tag=se&keywords=Eleanor+is+completely+fine+-+Gail+Honeyman&qid=1726514987&sprefix=eleanor+is+completely+fine+-+gail+honeyman+%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1Killer App Pre-Order: https://www.amazon.com/Killer-App-Artificial-Intelligence-Godsend/dp/1636984606/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3C9239LNBFTF9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._jZYK60AuW7LfvVC0NgYFA.c3uTiwpvyXA2gMtkimFmYcuMRaH3tzQR2RzbXXCpYKM&dib_tag=se&keywords=Killer+app+book+james+R+Gregory&qid=1726515232&sprefix=killer+app+book+james+r+gregor%2Caps%2C208&sr=8-1
