Marcus Collins is a marketer, cultural translator, professor, and an author.
His first book, For the Culture: The power behind what we buy, what we do, and who we want to be is now available for purchase. I strongly recommend it!
In this episode, Marcus and I discuss:
The definition of “culture”; The difference between “fast” and “slow” culture; Is our culture good? Cultural Icons: Michael Jackson, Beyonce, et al; “Go Woke, Go Broke”--Is it true?; Multiculturalism; The University of Michigan; Business School; Songwriting; Fashion; Corporations espousing politics; Nike; The basic tenets of good advertising; Using social media to promote a brand…
And much more!

What is Finneran's Wake?
Finneran’s Wake – where the ART OF CONVERSATION lives.
Here, no topic is untouchable, no idea inadmissible, and no one too heretical to be heard.
As the great French essayist Montaigne once said, “To my taste, the most fruitful and natural exercise of our minds is CONVERSATION. I find the practice of it the most delightful activity in our lives”.
It certainly is the most delightful activity in my life. I want it to be so in yours as well.
To that end, I humbly welcome you to my channel.
Here, we'll exercise our minds together. Here, we'll practice this delightful activity as friends. We'll engage, now and forever, in the art--the highest and most human art--of conversation!
With affection,
Daniel
