Show Notes

How do you become the only ad man to be honored at both The White House and The UN? It starts by getting fired 4 times.

 Our guest today, John Follis, spent the first 7 years of his career getting fired and the next dozen getting famous.

 After getting fired 4 times John cofounded a Madison Avenue ad agency that went on to become one of the most awarded agencies in the US. Selected “one of the best” by the NY Ad Club, his successful work has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, Forbes, The Harvard Business Review, and a Prentice-Hall marketing textbook. 

 Now, by sharing his story about overcoming his challenges, John helps inspire others.
