In this fireside chat I interview a great gentleman from Toronto, Canada, a guy who I met about a year ago through LinkedIn – his name is Jim Murray. Jim is a freelance creative guy who does a ton of work in the writing space.
Jim works with Small to Medium Sized Enterprises to create strong strategic focus, brand identity and communications programs that make them look as professional as they can in a highly competitive world.
There’s a lot of golden nuggets in this episode, so I hope you enjoy it.
