@benholliday Glug Reading @benholliday Glug Reading

@benholliday Glug Reading For traditional corporates, customers are not the
end user, they have distributors and retailers …there’s this huge disconnect where they're oriented around servicing someone who’s not the end-user Matt Webb (interconnected.org)
