Brady Sadler
The Yankees were everything when I was a kid, even though they werenβt winning much. This is a story about the power of sports and a chance meeting with a broadcast legend.
Iβve had a chance to record a few of my older relatives telling stories and Iβm realizing how much it means to have captured this. Hug your friends and family and ask them to tell you a story. Be present, but hit record on your phone too! π
Why record an audiobook? On this episode I share my motivation for doing the audiobook, some of the previous experiences I had dabbling in audio that inspired me and you'll hear an excerpt that features one of my favorite examples of a B2B collaboration. Special thanks to Kenny at Elephant Audiobooks for producing this part of the project. I highly recommend working with him if you decide to record an audiobook or know someone who is. You can find links to my full audiobook here: CollaborationIsKing.com

Today I chat with my friend Dan Radin, host of the Drum Showroom podcast and a veteran product development and marketing exec. Dan recently left his gig at Harman (Samsung) to launch his own startup.
What is resistance? Why is it difficult to share your work with friends, family and strangers? Thanks to a nudge from my last guests I finally shared this podcast on social media.
Taylor Scott is a veteran hospitality executive (Disney, Wynn, etc.) and the author of Ballgames to Boardrooms. We're testing a format that focuses on three areas: values, beliefs and strategies.
What it the podcast focused on asking every guest (marketers/creators) to address these same 3 themes: What are the beliefs, values & strategies you've relied on to be successful and feel fulfilled?
What will be in the 'creators cannon' - the most important ideas, theories and concepts all artists and marketers need to know or adopt?
Have you ever experienced imposter syndrome? Austin Kleon's book Steal Like An Artist offers a helpful lens to get past this feeling. Also check out the film Everything is a Remix by Kirby Ferguson.
Cursed marketers are inherently curious and strategic. But most also want to get their hands dirty creating. At the same time, their high standards can lead to paralysis. I find prototyping can help.
