On Brand with Donny Deutsch

<p>Everything is a brand. In today’s world companies, public figures, countries, institutions, and movements are brands with their own unique values, marketing, and influence. Former CEO and Chairman of Deutsch Inc., innovative political analyst and veteran TV personality, Donny Deutsch, mastered the power of branding when he built the multibillion dollar ad agency. Now, in a hyper-saturated, over-marketed world, our media landscape too often presents one-dimensional figures who are globally seen, and yet not truly known. Where the notion “perception is reality” feels truer each day, join Donny as he peels back the layers of the images we see, to understand the depths of the people who are changing our world. You won’t want to miss Donny’s candid conversations with global experts and the biggest names across entertainment, business, media, politics and more to better understand the “brands” of the moment and examine where politics, current events, and pop culture converge.</p>

Dropping my support of this particular podcast. Noonan is a moron, who broad strokes every issue and was a Reagan and Nixon supporter. Not particularly smart. This podcast has now slipped to below mediocre.

Amazing Deutsch and Stefanik. Ok Donny, you won this one, but then we get to ban all Fox News speakers such as Ingraham from campuses.
