So thrilled to have the chance to chat with best-selling author and culture expert, Dr. Marcus Collins. He's a gifted communicator and educator whose point of view helped me shift my perspective on how to better connect with my community. We discussed important takeaways from his best-selling book, "For The Culture," diving into the relationship between culture and decision-making. But let me properly introduce Dr. Marcus Collins: He is a renowned marketing expert and cultural translator. As a clinical professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, he shares insights on how culture profoundly impacts human behavior and consumption. He has a multidisciplinary background spanning engineering, advertising, music, and technology. Bridging academic research and real-world practice, Dr. Collins offers invaluable insights into navigating cultural currents and helping brands forge authentic connections with audiences. I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed recording it.
