  • Shooting the Shit with Haley Shane: Slaying the Boring

    Shooting the Shit with Haley Shane: Slaying the Boring
    Aug 8 2023
    In this episode I got to go from the realm of "just Facebook friends" to "Friends IRL" (did I do that right???) with Haley Shane. I've been following Haley for a couple of years and it's been entertaining to watch from a distance. Turns out, it was even more fun to dig in with the Slayer of Boring Brands herself... She discusses her childhood, passion for video games, and how she discovered her love for design through Photoshop. Haley also talks about her experiences playing in bands and the moment she realized that design was her true calling. Turns out we had a lot in common with how we got into our professions.

    Shooting the Shit with Tony Kindness: From the Country Club to Running a Large Agency
    Aug 2 2023
    In this episode I got to chop it up with my friend Tony Kindness. I've known Tony for 10+ years and it was still awesome to sit and learn more about him. Tony shares his journey in marketing, highlighting the importance of problem-solving, collaboration, and staying updated with the latest trends and technologies. He emphasizes the need to adapt and work alongside technology to stay competitive in the evolving marketing world. Key Takeaways Tony and his friend launched a city guide for Philadelphia, which evolved into a boutique agency offering website development and marketing services. The agency's success was driven by their ability to adapt to technological advancements and client needs, such as incorporating content management systems. Transitioning to consulting allowed Tony to focus on specific areas of expertise, provide personalized solutions, and develop close relationships with clients. Quotes "(AI) It's happening, and it can replace you if you do not learn about it. But if you are in the marketing world, I think most people are gonna take advantage of it..." It's always a great time talking to Tony. If you want to keep up with what Tony is up to, check out his LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonykindness/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Shooting the Shit with Alex Garashchenko: Sippin' Spirits and Discussing Fine Details
    Jul 26 2023
    In this episode I got the chance to sit down and sip some fine spirits (ok... that's a fancy way of saying we drank whiskey) with my good friend Alex . Alex is founder of Doodle Applications, and we discuss his passion for spirits, his upbringing, and his journey as an entrepreneur. From his childhood in Ukraine to the birth of his company, Alex reflects on the importance of details in his work and the evolution of his neighborhood. Key Points: The willingness to take risks and adaptability inherited from his parents' decision to immigrate from Ukraine. Collaboration and partnerships enhance problem-solving and lead to more thoughtful solutions. Awesome Quotes: "I'd rather move slower initially and then have easier long term, you know, have less issues with things or buy something once so I don't have to buy it again later." "The moment that they're looking through your website... you're building trust." I always feel like I get a bit smarter each time I talk to Alex and this time was no exception.

    Empathy and Confidence with Drewbie Wilson
    Jan 12 2023

By realizing that there was a bit more to life than the path he was on, he turned his life around, lost a ton of weight and has really made a great life for himself. I'm proud to call Drewbie a friend and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the conversation.
