You’d love last night’s episode of Billion Dollar Buyer (don’t judge me)...this MARKETING WIZARD spent 10 minutes parroting buzz-words and nonsense and in the end his big REVOLUTIONARY IDEA that was going to TURN THE MARKETING WORLD UPSIDE DOWN was basically the thing where you walk up and spin the wheel and “win”…
