Over past several months I have had the unique opportunity to podcast with a living legend of marketing – Joseph Jaffe.
Earlier this year I read his book and I was charged. Joe outlines a future for marketing that is consistent with my vision. Shortly thereafter we launched the Across the Sound podcast and since then we have attracted some 450 loyal listeners.
Unfortunately, I have found the demands of co-running a weekly podcast rather great. My blog continues to grow and now I have a new set of responsibilites at CooperKatz with my recent promotion to Senior Vice President. My mantra in 2006 is to keep it simple. I am going only to focus on the initiaitves that have the greatest value. It’s all very GTD.
Across the Sound, while a lot of fun and engaging, doesn’t quite fit into that pie. So, I am going to cede the show to Joe who will retool it and I am sure take it to new heights. Don’t be surprised however if I podcast here – keep my FeedBurner feed in your podcatcher. I also may pop up on Across the Sound from time to time. I am a huge believer in podcasting as an emerging medium. I just need to put it in perspective and participate in it on a schedule that fits my life.
