I'm not particularly good at speaking.

I figured that Adam Mendler, host of the podcast 'Thirty Minute Mentors', would probably be a good person to take some speaking advice from. He's a revered motivational speaker, CEO of The Veloz Group and regularly speaks with America's top leaders.

I think he also likes Seinfeld.

I wanted to know how he does that. How does he organise himself? How does it feel to interview such high performers in sports, business...life? What lessons has he taken after conducting hundreds, if not thousands, of interviews with top performers?

Adam spoke, I mostly listened.

Maybe this podcast was about something, maybe this was the podcast about nothing.

The Advertising Hour

The Advertising Hour is just an excuse for me to take at least 60-minutes every couple of weeks to explore the goings-on in my curiosity-plagued mind.

Part therapy, part meditation, part study. 

Mostly, I'm hoping to learn a little more about myself, my contemporaries and my obsessions through the study and discussion of all things advertising. 

I expect to get plenty distracted along the way.

At very least I hope to light-up a few unsuspecting synapses. 

It's a bonus for us all if this helps to surface unique marketing insight.
