Pr Hangover

As public relations truly is a product of its environment, so is this podcast. Our host spent a few weeks in China and was able to interview four amazing professionals while he was over there. To kick off our four-part China series we have Logan Clements, the entrepreneur behind Logan Strategy Group. We talk about the misconceptions businesses have about China, difficulties of starting a new business in a foreign country, and much more.
