Authentic And Ethical Marketing with Anfernee Chansamooth

It takes guts to talk about things that make us uncomfortable, but we can’t put our heads in the sand. We need to open these conversations to ensure we grow our business in alignment with our values. One of these difficult topics is marketing practices. Unethical marketing has been with us for decades, and these practices sell dreams that pop like bubbles.   In this episode, I have an insightful conversation with content strategist, writer and speaker Anfernee Chansamooth. We talk about the good and the bad that’s happening in online marketing today.  We chat about marketers who care more about making a buck than a customer’s needs… Horror stories of coaches gone rogue...  Things behind the scene that people never see… The grey areas of each issue… And tips and opportunities for 2021.
