Joseph Jaffe is Not Famous

Words matter. Now more than ever. On this episode, I welcome Chris West, who is the CEO and founding partner of Verbal Identity, a company that works with CEOs and brand leaders around the world to help them create One Vision and One Voice. As an author, the written word is so important and in an age of memes, hashtags and iconic visual social media (Instagram), there is more to content strategy t...

Ask around the speaker circuit about who is on the top of their game and more often than not, the name that comes back is “Ron Tite.” This was the first time I met him...and I couldn’t have been more excited.

Scott McKain is a pro. A real pro. Given I met him for the first time in Las Vegas, I’m going to refer to him as the Wayne Newton of the professional speaking circuit. Slick. Timeless. Classic. Polished. Legendary...but there’s another thing I’d add (and Dave Delaney would approve): NICE. Given his focus on distinctiveness, he leads by example. Learn more about your ad choices.

Adam Klein is a winner. He won Survivor 33: Millennials v Gen X (which sucks as I’m a Gen X’er) and featured in the most recent bonanza season of Winners at War, but there’s more to Adam than just the ability to outwit, outplay and outlast. Adam puts his talents and momentum into play as motivational speaker, spokesperson and Cancer Research Advocate. He’s also a momma’s boy. Just like me. Learn m...

We also had an amazing conversation in the Zoom room for o...
