Beware: Ronan Keating cover of Fairytale of New York
I made the mistake of not carefully checking the contents of the many Spotify playlists I assembled into my Christmas day super playlist fest. Ronan Keating and Máire Brennan’s cover of Fairytale of New York crept in and contaminated the whole thing.
Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead
Marketing lessons from the Grateful Dead isn’t the heaviest of marketing books in either its tone or its weight. It is, however, a damn good read and one that gently imparts simple ideas.
