I’ve had the most amazing career. For example, I’ve …
- Published ten books that people love.
- Graduated with two master’s degrees
- Earned seven patents
- Worked with amazing companies like Dell, Johnson & Johnson, and Adidas.
- Been a speaker on some of the world’s biggest stages.
But the very best achievement I’m most proud of is how I brought 30 people together for an entirely new way to talk about marketing. A meeting that created a bond.
Does that seem weird? Well, it’s a pretty great story that had its origins in 2010 and is still going strong today.
In this week’s Marketing Companion episode, for the first time, I tell the inside story of The Uprising retreat. I’m peeling back the curtain of a fascinating part of my life that exposes
- The desperate step I took early in my career when nobody would hire me as a conference speaker.
- The reason I canceled a successful marketing event called Social Slam, even after it had grown to 700 attendees.
- How writing Marketing Rebellion changed the direction of my life.
- Why I rented an entire castle in Ireland this year.
I brought some friends along to help me tell this tale!
