A collection of interviews with leaders who are passionate about something that is at risk of being overlooked. Sometimes it's a brand, a product or a service but it can also be an idea - something that is losing its relevancy for many. And to re-establish relevance you need someone with vision and drive to explain why it matters. These conversations are hosted by Michael Gough. He’s a consultant with over twenty-years experience in helping organisations develop clear, concise and compelling brand and marketing that delivers growth.
