Perfectly Mentored with Jason Portnoy EP106: Nik Sharma: Rocket Launching Your Brand
We live in a world where data is abundant, but what do we do with all that information? In a rapidly changing environment, an eye for sociology and culture and a data-driven mind are essential to figuring out what works for a brand—and what doesn’t.

His work with hyper-growth brands like Hint Water, Pill Club, and JUDY has resulted in new strategies, milestones, and millions of dollars in additional revenue for those companies.
