Shout-out to Michael who is running for U.S. Congress, South Carolina, District 1.Yo, yo, yo Brand Nerds! On the longest day of the year we’ve got a solstice banger. Lots of people ‘talk’ about CULTURE. Few ‘actually’ blend culture, brand building and consumer insights into a perfect cocktail, but Michael Moore has (no, not THAT Michael Moore). In this show Mike gives us an abundance of thought jewels such as: Do you have a firewall between your career and your passions? Are you demystifying the marketing black box? Are you a living example of the difference between a job and a calling? Are you smarter today than you were yesterday? And this one we just LOVE, business is NOT dispassionate, but is your EGO running the show? (shout Eckhart Tolle). For those of you saying to yourselves, ‘I wish I could find my way to a job that pays me to do what I was born do to,’ please listen carefully to Michael’s journey as it might just inspire your next career life move! Nothing like conversation among old friends who happen to know a thing or two about marketing.  To aptly borrow the old Coca-Cola tagline, ENJOY!  #marketing #branding #advertising #digitalmarketing #media #socialmedia #brandsbeatsbytes #IAAM #nofear #socialmedia #brandsbeatsbytes #cocacola #gloryfoods #cmo
