“A brand is the set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer’s decision to choose one product or service over another” – Seth Godin.
My wife bought me a Hamilton Khaki Auto 38mm as a birthday gift and while I wouldn’t have bought it myself, I really enjoy rotating it through my modest collection (mostly Seikos). The bracelet is lovely but could use some micro-adjust to get a proper fit.
As an aside, I’m keen to join the supporter Slack but can’t bring myself to as I use Slack so much for work and the thought of logging in during the evening and getting plagued by random work messages fills me with dread. Anyone else have this problem and potentially a solution?
Hi James, I am a big enjoyer of the TGN podcast and appreciated you singing the praises of Band Of Brothers at the end of the pod. I am a huge fan of BoB as well and actually going through a rewatch for the first time in several years. I also came across this podcast as well to pair with the rewatch. It is just outstanding and I highly recommend this too.... https://rephonic.com/podcasts/band-of-brothers-podcast-3
