Happy New Year to all of our listeners!
We're kicking off the new year with a new episode featuring Victor Ho.

To explore the theme of relationship, ATN host Paul Taylor and Victor talk about the difference between "personal" and "personalization" and technology's role in building relationships. We hope you enjoy this conversation.
