On this episode of the UnPodcast, we discussed controversy in advertising, and what makes such
controversy successful or unsuccessful. We also shared a feel-good story about a college president
who really cares and goes the extra mile, and how he made the difference in the life of one special
graduate.
We also talked about a single bad employee's bad behavior that cost the good company he works for
several thousands of dollars in lost business.
