Mitra is one of our special guests speaking at skucon on January 7th, where we’ll talk further about How to Create Merchandise Experiences That Connect and in today’s episode we talk about building iconic brands, licensing, creating high-demand merch experiences and we chat all around this intersection of art and commerce.

When the chips are down, when the economy is limping along, and when your team is exhausted by overwhelming uncertainty, there is no better way to regain your equilibrium and find your focus than by rallying around a shared goal.

We had the privilege of welcoming Rener Gracie of Quikflip to a skucast Live! episode this week, and what an insanely energetic time, learning from a master instructor in sales, problem-solving, and passion!

Today on the skucast, we sit down with Catherine Graham (commonsku’s CEO) and Mark Graham (commonsku’s President and Chief Brand Officer) and talk about what a momentous time we live in for innovation, and what the future will continue to unfold for us as we move forward.

Today on the skucast, we’re joined by Denise Taschereau and Karie Cowden on behalf of PromoCares. PromoCares brings awareness to environmental responsibility, ethical sourcing, diversity equality inclusions, sustainability, and community impact in the promotional products industry.

Join us for a rich and wide-ranging conversation on today's #skucast, not only about the rise of comfort food and M&A, but also the impact of private equity, the negotiation of the deal, and the vital importance of strategic partnerships with Lance Stier of Nassau Candy.

In this episode, we’re bringing you highlights from the event that include some of the best sales tips for creating sales, growing sales, and leading your sales team!

On this episode of skucast, we sit down with Stan Phelps and Roger Burnett co-authors of the new book, Red Goldfish Promo Edition: How Promotional Products Leverage Purpose to Increase Impact. Red Goldfish is a part of a series of books that Stan has created, called Purple Goldfish that focus on a range of topics from attracting raving customers to driving employee engagement and more.

Today on #skucast we discuss the lessons we have learned early on and throughout our careers. We unpack the helpful tips and advice we were given that changed our way of thinking from those who are considered visionaries. We discuss our experiences in both mentee and mentor roles and highlight how mentorship is a dynamic, two-way interaction where the student is as much the teacher as the teacher is to the student.

Today Nathan Goldberg joins the #skucast to share why you should keep asking questions, build strong relationships, and seek new ways to provide value. He shares his questioning strategy and reveals why his business competes on complexity and uniqueness instead of price.
