    Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed listening to this podcast.

    Good stuff about motivation, no substitute to hard work, preferring Marketing over Advertising! hmmm… and i always thought they were the same..but not anymore.

    Anybody in the MBA school as well as anybody who wants to become a successful entrepreneur should listen to this podcast.

    Love the new look of the website.

    Hey Gaurav! I also thought that Tom gave a very interesting perspective about their Marketing efforts.

    I also agree with him about the Employees being the most important Asset for the Company.

    As I’ve learned recently in my Strategic Management class:

    The Best Place to Work –> The Best Workforce –> The Best Place to Buy –> The Best Place to Invest

    Don’t you agree? Cheers, Tiago
