Join Current Commerce co-founders, Brad Seipp & Mike Williams, along with their VP of Social Marketing as we explore the intersection of personal style, generational confidence, and the evolution of e-commerce. Brad, Mike, and Eric Robert reflect on how personal identity�symbolized by something as simple as wearing bracelets�can tie into broader themes of business confidence and adaptability.
