Curtis and Tom are joined by marketing and branding consultant Katherine LeBrun on the show to discuss the metaphorical implications of fishing versus hunting in sales and marketing. They explore how the traditional hunting mindset can be detrimental to building customer relationships and how adopting a fishing mentality can lead to more effective engagement.
