    The Beatlology Interviews: David Sheff
    Jul 27 2024
    David Sheff conducted the last major interview with John Lennon. Just as Double Fantasy was being released, Sheff interviewed John & Yoko for Playboy magazine. It was the famous interview where Lennon went through the Beatles catalogue song-by-song - just before he died. The backstory of that interview is fascinating.

    A Tribute to Bob Newhart
    Jul 24 2024
    I did a lot of commercials with Bob Newhart in the late 90s. He was one-in-a-million, a joy to work with, and he will be missed. And I want to tell you a very funny story that happened as a result of those commercials.

  • The Beatlology Interviews: Astrid Kirchherr

    The Beatlology Interviews: Astrid Kirchherr
    Jul 20 2024
    Astrid Kirchherr holds a special place in the history of the Beatles. She took the famous Hamburg-era photos of the Beatles in their formative years, she inspired their “moptop” hairstyle, and she happened to fall in love with Stuart Sutcliffe, the fifth member of the Beatles. Her story is compelling, and her love of the Beatles, as friends, comes through in every word.

    Jun 8 2024

    Every company dreams of doubling its profit.

    It’s almost impossible to do.

    Yet, some companies do it by tweaking one tiny thing.

    We’ll talk about an industry that put three words on their packaging that doubled their profit.

    A company that created a catchy jingle that doubled their revenue overnight.

    And a business that changed one single word in a headline and their profit went up 100%.

    Houston, We Have Pizza: Advertising in Outer Space
    Jun 1 2024

    This week, we shoot for the moon.

    Now that commercialized space travel has arrived, the world of marketing is setting its sights on the stars.

    We’ll talk about ads on rocket ships, ads on spacesuits, and television commercials filmed on the International Space Station.

    There are companies who want to employ hundreds of tiny satellites to create logos in the night sky.

    Some companies even want to put ads on the moon.

    And those ads might even be cheaper than Super Bowl commercials.
