In our year end episode for 2018 and number 30 we rewind the year with Stein Broeder or Microsoft Advertising. We look at what was good and bad about the year with our contributor-at-large Cheryl Barbee with our special crystal ball eyeglasses. And we list our top 5 favorite books of the year 2018. Plus we feature our 2018 Track of the year and a tune from The Broker and Funk ReverSe. #disruptivefm #dfm
