Celebrity Status & You...

This week I finally get to share part 2 of Renee's recording session! If you missed her first part, you can catch it here.

So, why do I love Renee's recording session so much?

I had asked her to come on the mic to talk about the universe *around* The Last of Us... the celebrity actors, the marketing machine, the raving fan base.

When I saw the zeitgeist energy around The Last of Us as it was airing on HBOMax, I knew there was more to this story. Sure, we have talked about the business analogies for weeks now. But there's an entire business machine behind the video game and television series.

This podcast season would not be complete without incorporating the celebrity, the fandom, and the marketing machine behind both the actors and the series.

You'll hear Renee and me pick up the conversation where we left it during the podcast's premiere week and I think you're going to love the way we bring it home to you, yourself, and your unique experience in this world.
