Mark Masters is a master at building community. He put together an event called You are the Media and when the pandemic hit, he didn’t just take it virtually, he took it to a whole new level.

Charles Green is the Trusted Advisor. After all, he wrote The Trusted Advisor, so we should trust him on that alone, right? In a world that is supposed to be moving towards transparency, you would think we’re moving to a world of more trust versus less trust, but is that the case? And how does it relate to personal selling, relationship building and one-on-one business interactions? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
I discovered Andrew Davis when he was the featured speaker in a “You are the Media” virtual lunch. I loved him. He had so much energy and passion and most importantly, I learned a lot from him. It’s not often you hear stories or case studies that are so original and compelling. Perhaps that’s why we discussed curiosity today…it takes a curious mind to discover and uncover real gems.

I met Colin Shaw at Chelsea Football Club’s stadium, Stamford Bridge in London. Only we weren’t attending a football game; we were both keynoting a Customer Experience Conference. Colin is one of the giants in CX and we chatted about where so many companies are going wrong with their programs – and in particular during the times of COVID. We also spoke about “customer memory” – elephant or goldfish? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

David Berkowitz has spent his entire life convincing people that he is NOT the other David Berkowitz. No, he hasn’t, but it does explain why he is known as the Serial Marketer, as opposed to a Serial Killer!

She has over ten million books in print, is published in over 25 languages, and has several books in development for film and tv. Her latest book is The Friends We Keep (June 2019).

Bob Pearson is restless. He’s not content to sit back and let others do the work. Perhaps that’s why he launched a new agency network during a global pandemic no less. Today we learned more about the Next Practice Group, a “a founder-driven collective of firms that spans the marketing, communications and technology needs of organizations of all sizes.” We also talked about his cowboy boots, his weight loss and even some of his four books he’s written, including “Countering Hate.” Learn more abou...

So what is same side selling, I hear you ask? Well, you’ll just have to listen to this episode of CoronaTV! All I know is that I suck at selling. It’s so hard, especially during these tough times. I’m hoping Ian can help me and many others. I’m sure he will. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Bryan Kramer is one of those people I really should have spent more time with. Fortunately, I got to do that on CoronaTV. We talked about how he founded the Human 2 Human (H2H) movement and if being human is our competitive advantage, why do so many companies botch this completely? We also covered how you spot opportunities during this time…how you know when your timing is right…how you create movement when the landscape keeps changing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Go to Christopher S. Penn’s website and you’ll see a “hero” video clip of him speaking. The screenshot of the clip shows Penn on stage adjacent a presentation slide of a red circle with a diagonal line through it on top of a bull taking a dump. Translation: No bullsh1t! That tells you what you need to know about Christopher S. Penn. Oh and when I asked him what he wanted to talk about, his response: “The show is called CoronaTV. We’ll talk about Corona.” Beer it is!

Lane is the language columnist and an editor at The Economist. Today we discussed a few of his latest contributions, which are both topical and relevant: 1) why papers should print racist language when it occurs in the news, 2) The "racialization" of words like "thug" and "urban" and on the lighter side, 3) how to come up with a good portmanteau word (apropos of all the new corona slang) Learn more about your ad choices.

Martin Lindstrom is a bit of a legend. With his boyish looks and unusual accent (he’s Danish), Martin has wowed audiences around the world and back. He has written a bunch of books, including a new one planned for January 2021 titled: “The Ministry of Common Sense: How to Eliminate Bureaucratic Red Tape, Bad Excuses, and Corporate BS.” Halleluyah!

According to the TED blog, Gallop's TEDTalk "Make Love Not Porn" was one of the "most talked about presentations" at the 2009 TED conference. She joined me today on CoronaTV. Lea...
I call THE John Durham, “Professore,” but really the only title to give him is “friend.” John is a legend in the Venn Diagram world of marketing, media, digital and creativity.

There’s so much talk these days about technology, digital, mobile or social media and that’s fine. The problem is that it’s often tactics in search of strategy. So many self-proclaimed experts or gurus claim expertise in building your brand – personal or professional – using bells, whistles, gizmos and gadgets. They all gloss over an all-important word: brand. What is a brand? What are the fundamental of brand, branding and brand building and how are they changing or evolving amidst a new busine...
Where do you start with David Armano? He’s one of the best. Period. I don’t know exactly when we connected for the first time, but it was way back when blogs mattered and when it came to blogs, Logic + Emotion stood apart from all the others. Behind the blog is the man. The man who understood the intersection between technology and humanity; creativity and data; social and media. Uncanny timing, but he just announced he is leaving Edelman after almost 11 years. Learn more about your ad choices. ...

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. There is so much we discussed from how standup comedy can help business leaders (Dave Delaney approves) to looking at disruption through the lens of a coup d’état (Gesundheit) to creative losing its soul.

It’s a Sunday in CoronaVille, which means a show with a bit of a potpourri fragrance and one dedicated to the spirit of ingenuity and entrepreneurship.

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.
