The Sunday Edition of The Comunicano Communique is here. The idea behind the "Sunday Edition" is to curate more feature focused articles that can help you grow, think about how your business is run and identify trends in the world of business and technology.

I hope you enjoy it and, like the Sunday paper of days gone by, you read leisurely, without the pressures of the workday.
