Joseph Jaffe is Not Famous

What is the Red Thread and why does it matter? Tamsen Webster knows. I saw her keynote on this last year (you know, when we used to go to conferences!) and it really stuck with me. Today, we'll talk about the red thread, as well as persuasion v polarization, and relevance v remarkable. It’s going to be remarkable…I mean relevant! Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you have what it takes to succeed in life? In business? Ross Bernstein has written nearly 50 sports books, including "The Code," which on one level is about winning with integrity, but equally it’s about how sports analogies can apply to life, business, relationships and much more. In addition to the Champion’s Code, we’ll also discuss the topic of momentum. As an aside, Ross was scheduled to a...

Jamal Mashburn is a former NBA player (4th overall draft pick, 12 seasons in the NBA, average of 19.1 points per game) and a great one at that, but ask him about his basketball career and he’ll say “it was always a means to an end” and that end was becoming a successful businessman. That’s a goal he set for himself in his youth I’ll ask him all about these dreams and life goals, what he’s up to to...

From Superfans to Superparents, Brittany Hodak is your resident expert on at least one of them, whereas the other, she is figuring out along with the rest of us. I’ll let you decide which is which!

I met Bob Wollheim in Sao Paulo working on a project for Mondelez. Bob is an Internet pioneer in Brazil and a seasoned entrepreneur. He is also a fellow author and with ignorance, I’m going to assume the word “Empreender” means entrepreneur and not Emperor, although if it were the latter, would he be wearing clothes? Knowing Bob’s substance, I think the answer is a resounding yes! I’m sure we will...

I met Erik Qualman (or perhaps I should say Equalman) in Paris. We were both keynoting at a conference in/at The Louvre. For sure one of the best venues imaginable. These days keynote venues look a lot different! Erik and I will discuss personal branding, the most watched video about the rise of social media (he created it) and his new project….which is all about FOCUS. Perhaps I should skip the f...

Murray Nossel is a storyteller who – since COVID – has pivoted his business to incorporate listening into his portfolio. And if you thought that listening (the art of listening, active listening) is in fact passive and not necessarily and inextricably connected to the story and storytelling itself, well….you’d be wrong! We’ll also discuss his World Mother Storytelling Project and so if you’re a mo...

Tech wellness. Modern wellbeing. Jeremiah Owyang. Any questions? For those of you who don’t know Jeremiah, he’s one of the most consistent, solid analysts.

Say the name eMarketer and you had better be talking about Sir Geoff Ramsey. I added in the “Sir” title because I can. Geoff and eMarketer became the definitive and aggregated go to source and resource for all things data, insights and research about digital marketing and ultimately all forms of marketing. Boring huh? Not when you see Geoff in action. He's one of the most engaging, entertaining an...

Nick Diakanastasis is an expert at public speaking - to be specific helping people with public speaking…and that includes both extroverts and introverts. He’s an extreme introvert and so you can imagine what a mountain it is to climb to get someone who is naturally introverted to appear on a stage, project and present as a perceived extrovert. Well, with Nick as your guide, the mountain is a LOT m...

It’s called: “Professional Drinking: A Spirited Guide to Wine, Cocktails and Confident Business Entertaining.” Do you need more context than that to listen?

Augie Ray is a ray of light. I mean it. He’s super smart, insightful but moreover the word I would use to describe him is “clarity” – clarity of thought and the honest articulation thereof. We'll discuss the dangers and risk of unfounded optimism (a counter argument perhaps to a show that’s all about hope, positivity and optimism?) Oh and of course, there’s the Customer Experience angle, which is...

Piers Fawkes is a truly smart and insightful guy who runs a truly smart and insightful platform, PSFK. I like him so much, I once tried to hire him. Tried.

HA! Learn more about your ad choices...

When the name “Tim Sanders” comes to mind, I immediately think of LOVE. He wrote a book called “Love is the Killer App” all the way back in 2002 and how prophetic that turned out to be for so many reasons. These days, he continues to demonstrate his visionary thinking and the application thereof with another visionary company, Upwork. Today we discussed talent innovation, maintaining a positive me...

Lee Odden might as well be called Lee Odin because these days he closer resembles a Norse God than a digital marketer!

We’ll also discuss his current focus right now, namely B2B influencer marketing and perha...
