I am a marketing professional with plenty of varied experiences and not only found this book insightful and useful, but also accurate and poignant for my profession. It's definitely well-worth the reading and will give most traditional and even non-traditional marketing professionals some good insights into the field.

I enjoyed the book, the first part more than the ending chapters. They cover many valid points of why you need to have a team that loves your product.

The Book Was a Good Listen

The narrator of this book was distracting in his delivery of the text. He often over emphasized the wrong words and/or read the text incorrectly. It was evident that he had no knowledge of the subject.

The content was good but sometimes dismissed proven tactics in marketing to overly emphasize a point.

The narrator of this audio book was very poor
