Recording the eCommerce MasterPlan podcast and chatting with our guests is an endless pleasure for me – it’s always interesting, and there’s always a surprise and a few new nuggets of information.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest surprises of the 6 months of interviewing was the wide range of books that our guests recommended. Only 3 books were mentioned more than once.<\/p>\n
