Today’s business realm is fast-paced, constantly changing, and demands professionals to stay on top of their game. But with the rate at which news moves and trends come and go, how does one truly remain up to speed on all-things business, marketing, strategy, etc.?

Articles? Blog posts? Digital newsletters? Perhaps. But the average day of a working professional is jam-packed with to-dos, meetings, and deadlines, and devoting time to reading through lengthy features usually doesn’t fit into the agenda.
