The above experiences stretch my way of thinking at every turn, because while the fundamental experience is there, the way of approach and execution is non-linear. I have to continuously reflect on ways to boost a brand’s awareness, sales and revenue. There’s a certain level of humility that comes with innovating as well. Understanding that I’m not a know-it-all, it’s prudent for me to have a strong partner like my Executive Producer, Joey Scarillo. His energy brings focus to the podcast space, which allows us to courageously approach the casting process, be prepared for a bunch of no’s, and switch gears in order to turn it into a yes.
