It’s Friday and time for Ep. 14 of the Between 2 Brands #podcast with your host, Bill Petrie! This week, Bill discusses a tradition unlike any other – Masters merch (and what we can learn from it)! After that bit of fun, he is joined by the Branding Badass herself, Joelly Goodson, where she flips the script and grills Bill like a cheese sandwich by asking him some direct questions!
