My Guest today is Philip McKenzie, the co-host of 2 Dope Boys and a Podcast, a biweeekly podcast on trends and cultural insight. Philip is best described as a polymath.He’s a former Domestic Equity Trader for Goldman Sachs and He is a writer, rabid music fan and…. an accomplished DJ!

Today We talk about Consistency and Authenticity in Conversations between brands and the fans they seek to connect with, how companies need focus on long-term thinking, not short term gains and on growth as a false model for our times.
