This episode was recorded at the OurCrowd Summit in Jerusalem with the tremendously talented HiPitched and Hash Creative team Avital and Yarin. (Both creative marketing powerhouses!) We spoke about building an agency, finding clients, fostering creativity, cannabis, and opportunity.



This is a fantastic episode and would add a lot of value for anyone building an agency, or working in the creative space.



They also have one of the coolest business cards I've seen!

This episode hosts Somi Arian, Founder of Smart Cookie Media, Author, and tech philosopher. Somi talks about her drive, finding a calling, and the future of work. Interestingly, this was recorded before lockdown - the predictions are fascinating.

I absolutely loved recording this with Somi, she's an absolute force of nature.

This is the documentary that Somi and I discussed - well, well worth watching!

Here is a link to 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' that was mentioned.

This episode hosts Joy Burnford, founder and director of myconfidencematters, and all-round awesome person.  We spoke about public speaking, organizational structure, empowering women and minorities, and 'family meeting'. Joy's insights are fantastic and I highly recommend listening to this before public speaking, interviewing, asking for a raise, or going into a big meeting - there are so many pearls of wisdom here.

This episode hosts Dan Stein, founder of HiPE Property Search, where we talk about the process of celebrity property search, the art of making good introductions, networking tips, and discuss the 'call vs. email debate'. It was awesome having Dan on the podcast, he's charisma and excitement for what he does is infectious.
