Now, as it will do, life has come full circle and we find Tony transitioning to a new opportunity but this time it's nano-technology. Yes. from the arts to tomorrow's technology.

When the pandemic hit Emre took to the stage in his living room and started playing live-streaming shows every night so he could stay connected and then connect others in a time when everything was uncertain.

It's clear that Chris Kneeland had enough of the status quo regarding marketing and branding -- seeing companies being bamboozled into believing that an overdose of promotional activity will make them relevant.

Where's he going? Why him? And what advice does he have for "Rebels in Waiting"?
