Fantastic read! I’d recommend this for any recent high school or college grad—to get an idea about how businesses work, regarding marketing, sales, and the changing world of digital influences (especially with AI). This is not just a book for CMOs and CEOs—sure the big dogs will benefit, but it’s also for the little people. As an author myself, it’s given me insights into my own brand and marketing goals—for my books and for my overall platform. Five huge freaking stars for this one! I’ll definitely be rereading this as an ongoing reference!
