Doug Hall joins Road2Retail to discuss his work in product development and innovation. The founder of Eureka! Ranch and co-founder of Brain Brew Distillery draws on experience helping companies develop new ideas, alongside his own venture in custom whiskey and bourbon.

The interview focuses on differentiation and the need to prove that difference rather than simply claim it.
