Thinker Thursday. Nike, Ryan Reynolds, and Science Fiction
Today we’re doing a new piece of content called Thinker Thursday.
Why is it called Thinker Thursday? Because on Thursday we’ll give you a curated list of tweets, books, and a guest group.
These will be designed to open you mind to ideas, mindsets, and strategies to help you build your business.
