You’re walking through a beautiful fall forest, the light through the leaves casts a warm glow all around you, and you fill your lungs with the smell of slightly damp, fresh fallen foliage. Amongst the tree trunks and underbrush, you see a crop of beautiful chanterelles, which you carefully pick and bring home to eat with your supper. Only after finishing your meal do you realize those weren’t chanterelles at all—but false chanterelles. You’ll live (of course!), albeit with an upset stomach and a seriously bitter taste in your mouth.   So, what exactly do mushrooms have to do with marketing, you ask? We’ve all been in situations where we’ve invested our time and energy into something we believed served our best interests at the time, yet found ourselves afterward to be a little let down or even downright disappointed in the end… Kind of like thinking you’re scoring a delicious, earthy treat and ending up with a bellyache. Today, we're talking a little bit more about ecosystems, that selling doesn't have to mean taking advantage, and we’re picking your brain a bit about empathy marketing. Tune in and listen to episode two of The Entrepreneur’s Ecosystem.
