Episode Notes

The world is layered, complex, and noisy – especially when we’re talking about all forms of communication that we not only receive, but that we send out as well.

In this episode, we speak Baruch College alum Ben Guttmann (BBA ’11 - https://www.linkedin.com/in/benguttmann/) about some of the elements of effective messaging and communication.
