Ep 279: Breaking Out Of Limitations

In this episode, Kevin Oakley, Andrew Peek and Jackie Lipinski question whether the month of May is raising spirits or the fact that everyone is smashing their sales goals! Kevin says having a set brand is limiting for a company and they debate whether or not it’s effective to stay within the confines of your branding boundaries. They discuss why Facebook is riddled with older generations leading Gen Z to avoid it and Andrew breaks down the term "cheugy".
