On this first episode of Season 8 of the Integrate & Ignite Marketing Podcast host Lori Jones discusses the fatal flaw shared by far too many innovators, disruptors, and visionaries with big ideas: they devalue marketing and mistakenly believe that their product or service is so cool and innovative that it will sell itself.
