Marketing may not save lives, but sometimes we make a real difference
Working with inspiring people is why I do what I do. We often work to grow people's brands and businesses, but occasionally our efforts help change people's lives. It's a good day when that happens. Today was one of those good ones, as I got to work with this bloke, the Unbreakable Farmer.
