Welcome to Ducks Unplugged — where work, life, and a little bit of chaos come together. Hosted by two marketing executives who keep it real, we talk leadership, strategy, brand creativity, and all the stuff people usually avoid saying out loud.
It’s interactive and candid, designed to feel like you’re sitting at the table with us — part of the conversation, not just listening in. Pull up a chair!
