#81 - Brendan Gahan: The Future Of Big Tech, Social Media And Advertising

Do you think Facebook will still exist 10 years from now? It’s hard to envision a world without it, but think of how drastically the digital world has changed in the last 10 years. This week on The Unicorn Perspective, my guest Brendan Gahan and I discuss how we think Facebook and other giant players will adapt in the coming years, what social media users are looking for, turning down clients as an agency owner, and so much more.
