Interview with “Likeonomics” Marketing Author Rohit Bhargava
Every once in a while, you read a business book and it becomes obvious that what you’ve been doing…is wrong. You know at that moment that you need to start doing things differently.
I had that feeling the first time I read “Personality Not Included: Why Companies Lose Their Authenticity And How Great Brands Get it Back” by Rohit Bhargava.
