Episode Description

Facebook has changed its algorithm to favor news and content from friends over that of brands. The result is that companies have seen their posts essentially disappear. So what is the next big thing… this may be a surprise but it is email! Marketing companies are seeing up to 40% opening rate for emails; 155 new billionaires in the last 12 months, where were they from?; We are experiencing an explosion of same day deliveries from online retailers, what does this mean for bricks and mortar stores; Generation Z is driving e-commerce with 10% of their expenditure online; banks face major threat from tech giants, is this the end of banking as we know it? We also have a discussion about the huge role that emotion plays in business, even with the tough bunch on Shark Tank. We also have our extremely popular email segment and our interview with Darren Kavinoky who is no stranger to the television cameras, the courtroom, or the speaker’s podium, or to pain and misery – he is a recovered addict, an accomplished trial lawyer, a well-known television host and legal analyst, and a compelling keynote speaker. A great story.
