This is a special Valentine’s Day episode of the Team Powdered Donut™ podcast. For those that have listened to the podcast since Season One, you know that we typically drop new episodes on Tuesdays, however, this conversation with Daniel Bussius, author of Marketing Built by Love®, as well as CEO of the company by the same name, seemed appropriate for today. We start our conversation with the stuff that usually shows up at the end of a bio. But as Daniel shares with us in his stories, this is really the stuff that matters. It’s the stuff in our heart that drives what we do in our lives.
