We're back, and with Eric attending a leadership conference, we get inspired (read: provoked) to talk about what makes a great leader, what's the relationship between a leader and a brand, and why all of this is so damn hard in the age of endless data.

For our first episode, we start modestly: Love. Much has been said on the topic (looking at you, Will Shakespeare), but Eric and Jay explore the intersection of business, branding, storytelling, and ultimately, how the heart wants what the heart wants.

Join Eric Solomon and Jay Rendon, two marketing and branding veterans from Novio, and their biweekly conversation about branding, leadership and most importantly, love. Launches on January 8.
