About this episode
Dr. Richardson and I had a very honest conversation about "brand". Most companies don't know who they are specifically speaking to. How do you speak to your perfect client?

The Hershey Company, General Mills, Kraft Foods, ConAgra
Brands, and Frito-Lay as well as emerging brands such as Once
Upon a Farm, Peatos, Ithaca Hummus, Mother Kombucha, Rebel
Creamery, zaca recovery, and others.
