In this episode of Art of Authenticity I had a thoughtful conversation with Ryan Holiday, an author, marketing genius, and media strategist.
At his core, Ryan Holiday is a writer and a media strategist. He dropped out of college to apprentice with Robert Greene (who authored The 48 Laws of Power). He then ran marketing for American Apparel and has since gone on to author five books, one of which is Ego is the Enemy, his latest. Thanks for ListeningAgain, thank you so much for your support!
