In this podcast, Mark talks about the power of the Maker Movement, and how this changes not just the way consumers buy goods, but also how brands will market to them. He discusses why key forces converging make this the ideal time for the next creative revolution to take hold, and why it’s likely this may be even bigger than the Internet.
