Kendall Jenner is one of the most famous people on Earth. And so, it made sense for the global brand Pepsi to feature her in a commercial in 2017.

Guests: Brad Jakeman (former President of PepsiCo Global Beverage Group), DeRay Mckesson (activist, author, and host of the "Pod Save The People" podcast), Ed Castillo (Brand Strategist and current owner of Brand Disposition, Inc.), Ephrat Livni (journalist and lawyer), and Charles R. Taylor (John A. Murphy Professor of Marketing, Villanova School of Business)
