Jackson compares notes on the brand, and explores how a personal, values-led approach convinced global legends to trade the red carpet for a delivery van.It’s a look at what happens when a legacy brand stops playing safe and starts playing for keeps, where the gap between a global hit and a total flop comes down to a single letter and a handshake.IFS - award-winning Asset & Service Management software 👉 Reimagine your operations at: https://highpfrmc.com/rwih-ifs-ytEight Sleep 👉 Upgrade your sleep and wake up with more energy - get up to £350 off the Pod 5 with code RWIH: https://highpfrmc.com/eightsleep-ytXTB 👉 To find out more and make your money work, use code RWIH at: https://highpfrmc.com/xtb-rwih-ytEXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal 👉 https://nordvpn.com/rwih Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Hosted on Acast.
