[Episode 3]

Scott Stratten is the President of UnMarketing, is a 6X best selling author, and a internationally sought-after speaker who passionately believes that a better business world can be build around integrity, community, and authenticity. He walks a beautiful tightrope of being funny and engaging while exposing some raw truths about business we know to be real, but might find tough to look at. In 2018, he was inducted into the National Speakers Association Hall of Fame.

His books, all co-authored with his business partner and wife (also the greatest person in history according to him) Alison Stratten, began with “UnMarketing – Stop Marketing, Start Engaging”, which has sold 50,000+ copies and is available in over 7 languages. Their other books include “The Book of Awesome / The Book of UnAwesome”, “QR Codes Kill Kittens”, “UnSelling”, “UnBranding”, and most recently, “The Jackass Whisperer”.

Scott is fascinated with disruptions of the status quo and single-minded in his belief that treating humans well is at the core of successful business practices.
