Collab Connection is an exclusive video podcast on Branded Merch Network, hosted by Lauren Esser and Jay Busselle, that breaks down how brand collaborations actually work and why they connect.

The goal is not hype, but clarity brands and merch pros can use to design smarter, more relevant collaborations of their own.
