E41 Phil Ou | Blossomer
This episode resonates extra with us and this week's guest has an incredible story. MIT? Check, YCombinator? Check, Google/Youtube? Check and Check. What if I told you, at different points, Phil Ou walked away from all of those (in fairness, he returned to MIT). Phil, CEO of Blossomer walks us through what drives him, his approach to product management and innovation, how he approaches complex problems and the formation of his company. A great episode that is a masterclass at identifying and navigating life's transition points while recognizing one way and two way doors. Thanks Phil!

This week on Sound BITES we’re doing something a little different. We always ask our guests “What advice would you give a younger version of you, maybe at 18 or 25 years old?” But that section is at the end, in fact it’s the last question. Since we always get good answers and they have been different every time, we decided to stitch a few of them together for this bite-sized episode. Hope y’all enjoy.
How would you answer that question? We would love to hear your answer.

On Episode 9 of Sound BITES we got to chat with our friend Jenna Thompson, Digital Marketing Manager for Ford Motor Co. Jenna’s automotive journey moved from slinging hot dogs to marketing the most desirable vehicles for sale today, with a few fun stops along the way on the agency and client side. We discuss her journey through the auto industry, leading teams, managing stakeholders, the importance of communication, mentorships and how she leverages data to get better outcomes.

On Episode 7 of Sound BITES we sit down with Andrew Fraine, co-founder of Automata, an AI-assisted marketing content platform. We discuss the needs of modern marketing teams, how to generate high-quality content with the help of robots, took a little detour into quantum computing territory (we couldn’t help ourselves), then brought it back to learn what advice he would give a younger version of himself. Did we mention Andrew’s PhD in electrical and computer engineering? Or the research in quantum optics? We touch on some of that too.
