By the end of day, Anne Janzer might be my favorite person in the world. And yours. Why? Because she wants to talk about servant authorship, cognitive science, the power of subscription and relationships…all WITHOUT the jargon! In case, you didn’t realize…that headline was a red herring! Plus, she’s super enthusiastic to come on the show which makes me happy. It’s a geek thing, I guess. And the feeling is mutual! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week I turned to 5 of my previous 204 guests, who all share a very specific theme in common: health and fitness. There’s guest #1 on CoronaTV, Sharon Jaffe (also my sister), who owns a spinning studio in London, Iron Man and Peloton machine, Peter Shankman, Spartan Warrior, Justin Levy, Ultra Virtual Marathoner, David Rendall and the Norse Titan, Lee Odden. Each of my 5 guests will introduce the topic of their choice (which may or may not be about health, fitness or wellness) and then colle...

The most potential human motivator is progress. So you can imagine how hard it might be for people who are stuck in life; in business; in a team; or in a company. Or what if the entire company is stuck…stuck in the past? Stuck in their ways? Stuck in a rut? David Burkus helps individual and teams get unstuck, by questioning conventional wisdom about how to run a company. We discuss leading anywhere. In these work from home times, it’s a shackle we need to break and David has both the key and if ...

Words matter. And when you’re a master of words like George Tannenbaum, it is a skill that is timeless and in fact, ageless. George is Chief George Officer of GeorgeCo., where he runs the world’s largest one-person agency, but before that he was the former copy chief and ECD on IBM at Ogilvy. And here’s the bridge between the jump from corporate exec to solo entrepreneur: I was kicked out of Ogilvy at the age of 62 in January, 2020. But really I didn't leave Ogilvy. Ogilvy left me. Today on Coro...

Michael Farmer wrote Madison Avenue Manslaughter. Do you need more setup or context for today’s show? He’s been in the advertising business for over 30 years and has seen it (not) change, (not) evolve and (not) move with the times. That’s the problem really. The resistance to change and inability to disrupt itself in order to stay relevant and differentiated against the hordes of attackers in the form of the big tech companies, consultancies, in-house agencies, automation, AI, specialists and ye...

Happy Monday! It's the day after the Super Bowl and also the day you get to find out everything you ever wanted to know about social media from the person who wrote the book on it. Well at least one of them. Dr Karen Freberg actually wrote the textbook that I’m currently teaching from at West Virginia University. Today, she’ll be talking about the next wave of social media professionals coming out of college, community and Ryan Reynolds???!!!! I wonder if any of my students will be watching? Lea...

No, SSFF does not stand for “Stop Skeletons From Fighting” – it stands for Survival Skills for Freelancers and today, I’ll have the author of the book in the CoronaTV studio. Sarah Townsend is the author of the aforementioned book and she’s “all in” when it comes to freelance life, success, wellbeing and mental health. I’m intrigued to discuss her take on how Covid has impacted the freelancer. Has it just been a continuation of the same? Is it better or worse? Moreover, what skills are needed to...

His 3 words for 2021 are Perseverance, Wellness and Recovery. These words take on a whole new meaning and context if you know Justin Levy and his incredible story, which involved constant, multiple seizures and brain surgery to remove a tumor. Did that stop him? Well, considering his website is called “Built Unstoppable,” what do YOU think? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lauren Griffiths is why I started CoronaTV. I started the show to help people – both my fellow guests and those at home. And then there’s Lauren, who has probably helped more people with one single post than I’ve probably done with 190+ interviews. What did she do? She changed her profile pic on LinkedIn. That’s it! She’ll tell her story on CoronaTV on “finding her voice, inspiring others and not caring what others think.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When times get tough (or even when they aren’t), here’s one superpower that’s not mentioned as often as it should: tenacity. Ford Saeks gets it and makes the integral connection between tenacity and innovation. It is a prerequisite? An enabler? A catalyst for future growth?

Where do I start with body language expert and analyst, Scott Rouse? By day, he trains law enforcement and the military in interrogation and body language. By night, he swindles millions from card sharks in high stakes games of poker. OK, that last line was a lie or was it? Can you tell? Scott Rouse can. So join me on CoronaTV, where we’ll discuss this and a whole lot more. PS This is "Take 4" of our attempt to do this...let's hope it's a charm! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone....

His title is “Chief Thinker.” His response to, “how would you like to be introduced?” was “you can make it up" (hence the episode title!) His company is called Thinkerbell. He’s a consumer psychologist that believes you should stop listening to your consumer and try hearing your brand instead (that’s his book title.) I met him years ago and the impression he made on me never went away. He’s a smartypants and – as he’s in Australia – will be joining me for a non-cocktails episode of CoronaCocktai...

Jason Falls is a bit of a legend in the industry. He rocks a beard like no one’s business, has an amazing podcast and has a brand-new book out in February called “Winfluence.” Out of respect – and in order to raise a glass to a new administration - on Inauguration Day, CoronaTV becomes CoronaCocktails today.

Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the Account-based Marketing waters, along comes….Account-based Experience. ABM has been one of the most significant parts of the B2B world and personally, I’ve loved watching it grow as it is the B2B equivalent or implementation of Flip the Funnel. It’s refreshing to see newly instated CMO of Demandbase, Jon Miller, look to take this to the next level and we’ll discuss his triple vision 1) as a CMO, 2) ABX and 3) the “new” Demandbase.

Hey don’t blame me. Don’t even blame my first two-time returning guest, Martin Lindstrom. Blame companies who have Deck Envy. Companies who have created red tape to cover more red tape – and with it, an endless amount of bureaucracy that is suffocating creativity and innovation. Fear not, the Ministry of Common Sense, Martin’s brand new book, is here to save the day…but first I’m going to need you to fill out those TPS Reports.

It’s completely intentional to describe Sally Hogshead as fascinating. Not just because she created the FASCINATE TEST, a personality assessment doesn’t measure how you see the world, but rather the ONLY that measures how the world sees YOU, but also because of how she lives her creative passion. On today’s show, we’ll find out about how to embrace ugly, whether there is any coming back for "Brand Trump", my archetype (I took the test) and more importantly, how YOU can discover your highest valu...

I met Dan Silberberg on a C-Suite Sunday Scotch evening. I thought he was a philosopher, but it turns out he’s a leadership coach. That’s not a disappointment or a letdown, but a relief. We need more philosophy in business; in leadership; in life. Today, we’ll get to apply his “quantum” leadership approach to a vision where all possibilities exist – a different perspective in viewing market voids and opportunities Learn more about your ad choices.

Marcus John Henry Brown describes himself as a performance artist. He creates performance art that hacks the business context, the relationships between and impact of technology, culture and commerce on society. “Part performance, part lecture (and parody) it was like watching a live TED meets ‘Black Mirror’ Live special. Terrifying as it was refreshingly original.” After reading that review, I am salivating and can’t wait to welcome him on CoronaTV. Oh, and he’ll also talk about how to apply th...

My guest today is Ashley Faus and today we’ll be discussing content playgrounds, apophenia and conspiracy theories, and last but not least, micro-feedback and external stimulus as it relates to one of the drawbacks of our current remote-heavy professional lives, the inability to add to “work in progress” ideas that might have existed on a whiteboard in an office or conference room.
