Disruptor Series

 Sam Conniff-Allende will disrupt your perception of pirates and what they can teach us about 21st Century business. In fact, Sam argues that the Golden Age of Piracy pirates were the "Millennials of the sea." In fact, he's written an inspired book on the subject called "Be More Pirate: Or How To Take On The World And Win." In the book (and on stage here) Sam shows how real pirates like Blackbeard, Henry Morgan, Anne Bonny and Black Caesar wrote the blueprint for how to thrive in modern day capitalism using limited resource and unlimited ingenuity. In this live Disruptor Series Podcast, you'll learn everything you need to disrupt business as usual. As Steve Jobs once said, "I'd rather be a pirate, than join the Navy." Find out why here.

How’d your last presentation go? Did you sell the creative? Did you get a client to buy whatever you were selling? If not, listen in. On this episode of the Disruptor Series Podcast we hear from Kerry Z Feuerman, the author of the new book, “The 5 Deadly Sins of Presenting Creative Work.”  In conversation with Rob Schwartz, Kerry lays out the five sins: Blurting, Ad Whispering, Wanderlust, Telepathy and Impalement. He also gives some terrific advice on how to successfully present on conference calls. You can’t launch disruptive work in the world if you can’t sell it in the boardroom. Find out how, here.

This is the first Pod2Pod. On a single day, in the same studio, Adam Pierno, author of the new marketing strategy book “Under Think It,” appeared on the Disruptor Series with Rob Schwartz. And in the same session, the tables were turned and Rob was a guest on Adam’s show, “The Strategy Inside Everything.” Both episodes are here for you now, back to back, Pod2Pod, and allow you to listen in on the state of the advertising business from two of its sharpest minds. From two different ways in. 

Here's the link to Adam's episode interviewing Rob.
