Summary
Gordon and Corey kick off a new season by announcing a new direction for their podcast -- talking directly to local businesses that are screaming for more help with marketing. The hosts cite evidence that many of these businesses no longer trust intermediaries and are turning to technology and self-education. It's both a wake-up call for media and agencies and a renewed commitment by Borrell to directly support the entrepreneurs who drive local economies.
