Joseph Jaffe is Not Famous

Sometimes you just look at a book title and think, Bulls-Eye! The fantastic Dorie Clark just wrote the book that should have been written before: how to balance short term acting with long term thinking. Tonight at 9pm ET, we’ll discuss her vision and philosophy on how to create a roadmap that keeps you in the game…the long game! Plus Gregarious submits his weekly vignette on Ego…which is super re...

The man puts the OG in Content…as in Cogntent (the G is silent!) This conversation has been long overdue and it lives up to expectations.

At 9pm ET, we'll discuss the evolution of content and content responsibility, how skills at college has to evolve and…sponsoring an Emu! Then Tom Morris give...

JD Gershbein promised he would bring his A-game and he won’t disappoint.

Then Gregarious will talk about optimism in his weekly entrepreneurial segment. Have any questions for Ethan o...

Dion Johnson is just incredible. She’s just lost her grandmother and I wasn’t sure if tonight’s show would take place, but it did and we all the richer for it. Join us at 9pm ET where we’ll discuss grief, masking and unmasking, #bemoreinfluential and “Show Up, Speak Up and Shake Things the hell Up!” Then Philosopher Tom Morris will deliver his weekly philosophy segment on….Philosophy! Have any que...

Brian Fetherstonhaugh was the BIG boss – and I mean big boss – when I first started working at Ogilvy & Mather in 1997. It’s no surprise to me that he’s now focusing on talent because my experience walking those red carpeted corridors was a very special one. Those were the days when HR was an employee’s ally. Today, perhaps it’s more like an adversary. Or is it? We’ll discuss tonight at 9pm ET alo...

Nancy Duarte would be the first to tell you that effective presenting, storytelling or perhaps even “storyselling” is a universal skill that is less about physical versus virtual; and more about universal skills. Or is it? Tonight at 9pm ET, we’ll discuss and talk about the many changes to the environment which have been thrust upon us over the past 18+ months. Then we’ll hear from Jory Des Jardin...

When I first joined Clubhouse, all day long I got notifications about two people that seemed to be the busiest people in showbusiness. Mayor Ed Nusbaum and Bomani X. I wasn’t sure who this mythical character was, but soon found out he was literally the face of clubhouse: meaning his profile picture was the app icon. Now that’s famous. I wouldn’t know. Since then, we ended up as part of Rally’s Cre...

I’ll let you in on a little secret. I love listening to futurists. And I love Africa. So you can imagine how giddy I get when I have an African futurist in the house. I heart Dr Roze Phillips speak via Zoom and I watched her entire presentation. I even took notes. Tonight at 9pm ET and 3am in South Africa (yes, she’s LIVE), we’ll discuss her thinking around Effective Altruism and if there’s time –...

So excited to chat with Kami Huyse at 9pm ET tonight. Kami is another social media OG and tonight we’re going to talk about “freelance forward” aka the new freelance boom, community building and of course, social media marketing. It’s such a treat as I’m teaching social media strategy right now at WVU and so I’m really paying attention to “going back to basics” and reminiscing…not as nostalgia, bu...

Mark Moskowitz has made bad decisions in his life.  We all have…but I’ll bet his story is different to yours.  Mark went to Federal Prison and today, instead of pointing fingers and laying blame, he’s advocating for a total responsibility movement: taking responsibility for our own happiness - by working on our self-esteem, confidence and image.  He has a book coming out. Plus he’s about to run th...

Len Herstein has invited me to his wonderful Brand ManageCamp twice before, so it was only fitting that I invite him back to my show again. Actually, there’s a REALLY good reason. His new book is finally here and is shipping as we speak. The book is called, “Be Vigilant” and last time he was on, we teased the subject matter and focused on a little more on complacency. Tonight at 9pm ET, we can wor...

There’s an “old” saying, “clothes maketh the man” (we’ll forgive the gender specific reference this time.) It’s not just clothes, but also color and vibrancy in general. Tonight at 9pm ET, we’ll discussion “brand fashion” with our resident brand fashionista, Toi Sweeney. Then, Tom Morris will make his grand return (withdrawal symptoms as his last segment was September 9th!) as he discusses ego and...

Our Chrisfecta is complete with Chris Wallace. No, not the guy from Fox News. Actually, it’s Christopher Wallace – a CX maven second to none. Tonight at 9pm, we’ll discuss the difference between knowledge and belief, human-to-human interaction, and why customer experience is the ONLY product most companies should be worried about. Then we meet our new Wednesday correspondent and here’s a hint, he’...

Chris West was originally on the show in June of 2020 and tonight at 9pm ET, he joins a handful of elite famous guests making their return to the show. The occasion? The launch (like TODAY) of his new book, “Strong Language: The Fastest, Smartest, Cheapest Marketing Tool You're Not Using.” I will be minding my P’s & Q’s, expletives, apostrophes (or is it apostrophe’s, or apostrophes’?) and gratuit...

Tonight on Joseph Jaffe is Not Famous at 9pm ET, we’ll discuss Reality Bubbles, the Creator Economy and how he was stalked by Apple’s Tim Cook. Have any questions for John or want a sh...

If the only constant is change, then it would be an achievement in of itself to be change ready and change compliant, only…the change we live in isn’t constant; it’s “constantly” changing. This is the time of FLUX and we need a Flux Mindset in order to survive and thrive. Thankfully April Rinne, who conveniently wrote a book called FLUX, is here with 8 Flux Superpowers designed to arm and empower...

Boldly going where no marketing executive has gone before, it’s Chris Burggraeve, who is my guest at 9pm ET tonight. I met Chris when he was Chief Marketing Officer of ABInBev and I’m not sure whether he curses or is thankful for meeting me! Tonight we’ll discuss space…the final frontier…both literally and as a metaphor for brands, brand building, brand equity and more. Then our entrepreneurial co...

The Great Resignation? BOLLOCKS says tonight’s guest, Dan Pontefract. I can’t wait to hear what this organizational sociologist has to say about our new normal and leaders, who – surprise, surprise – STILL don’t get it. Join us at 9pm EDT tonight and in addition to Dan, we’ll hear from our resident philosopher, Tom Morris PLUS in our Creator Corner we’ll meet Mariah Hooser. Have any questions for...

Francine Hardaway believes in taking the right way in life…even if it’s the hard-a-way. Owner of the $KARMA coin, she’s “Living the Dream” (on substack) and making sure that in this current melee of noise (everyone has a voice and everyone has an opinion), she is the signal of sanity. Tonight at 9pm EDT, we’ll discuss the future of democracy, why we don’t get race relations right and global health...

He co-founded Vonage; he helped change the way the world communicates; he spends his time these days helping others. You can thank him later. Actually, you can thank him at 9pm EDT tonight when he comes on Joseph Jaffe is not Famous (because obviously Jeff Pulver is famous!)
