    • Episode 166: Specialized Marketing and Morning Light with Merianna

      Today I'm thinking about specialized marketing. As a case study, we look at Morning Light. This is a new book of poetry (or a devotional) from The Rev. Merianna Neely Harrelson looking to address a variety of audiences looking for a similar value proposition.

      Special Guest: Merianna Neely Harrelson.
