- I share and celebrate the excellent work happening within our team.
Favorite Podcast
My all-time favorite podcast is Song Exploder. It is a short 20-minute inspirational interview that shares artists’ songwriting processes and how they build a story. Many lessons correlate with marketing that naturally carries over.
Favorite Leader
While I don’t have a specific favorite leader, the leadership attribute I admire the most is doing the right thing over the easy thing. It’s about making tough decisions to do what’s right while doing good.
