Michael F. Schein of Microfame Media returns to the Legal Marketing Studio to discuss his new book: The Hype Handbook: 12 Indispensable Success Secrets From the World’s Greatest Propagandists, Self-Promoters, Cult Leaders, Mischief Makers, and Boundary Breakers. He and I discuss how marketers can engage the art and science of shameless propaganda to generate and leverage hype in the effective and ethical promotion of professional services firms.

This was edited ruthlessly down from a nearly hour and a half long conversation. I cut the one segment in which he exhorted people to buy his book. Sorry, Michael.
