He's applying his "Ideas That Do" approach by working with a small team of collaborators from places like Germany and Nashville to use a network of 3-D printers to make a quality mask available to everyone with his new initiative: AMaskForAll.com.

The advertising business is crazy. And lately, things have gotten even crazier. It’s more complex. With more platforms. More jargon. More acronyms. And more opportunities to poke fun at all of it. Creative Director and copywriter Ryan Wallman has done just that. His new book is called “Delusions of Brandeur.” And it’s a wonderful antidote to all that ails the ad business. Listen in as he and Rob unpack the inspiration and some of the hilarious content that fills its pages.
