    49 - Tony Guarnaccia

    Over his 20 year career, Tony has grown over 10,000 small businesses and a dozen Fortune 500 companies, including Ford, General Motors, AutoNation and ADP. He has managed over $400 million in advertising spend and in 2009 earned the prestigious title of Google Partner of the Year. As an entrepreneur, business owner, and enterprise marketer, Tony worked with, literally, the best businesses in every industry, including Google, Microsoft, Ford, BMW, and Foster Grant to name a few. After working with these companies, he learned how they grow consistently and predictably, using adversity to pivot towards opportunity in order to survive and thrive in all manner of economic conditions. Later, Tony returned to his entrepreneur roots to bring the strategy, tactics and resources normally reserved for large enterprises to small businesses. Today, he is focused on bringing that same vision to podcast hosts and guests – to make podcasting profitable. He believes that by growing small businesses, together we can impact not just our local communities but also our world. We talk about his book, Big Fish Results: How to use the ‘Net’ for a Bigger Catch, and his book “Small Steps to Grow Profits.” He is currently launching his new company Castocity: Making Podcasting Profitable.  We talk about his books and his goal now to help podcasters and guests on podcast monetize with his unique software and strategy.

    47 - Kim Rozdeba

    Kim Derrick Rozdeba is the Vice President of Communications, Public Affairs, Science & Sustainability at Bayer Inc. in Canada. Kim is a senior communications and marketing expert with over thirty years of diverse experience in petroleum, airline, telecommunications, automotive, and life science industries. He has served on several boards and committees such as the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), Youth Ag-Summit (architect), Canadian 4-H Council, Outstanding Young Farmers of Canada, Alberta Ballet, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Calgary’s Science Centre, and the Commanderie de Bordeaux. Kim is passionate about building strong brands and is an avid blog writer on the topic. One day it occurred to him how little was written about branding from a gender perspective, especially from an entrepreneurial women brand leader. Exploring the idea, he realized this was an untold story of a long list of women he found so inspiring that he decided to make these inspirational women the subject of his first book, Branding Queens. We talk about brands, marketing, and a few of the extraordinary women entrepreneurs whose stories are in his new book.

    When Mark Bellow retired from his career of 44 years as an attorney, he decided to start writing novels, and uses his books to tackle social justice issues.

His first book “Betrayal of Faith” while fictional, was based on his own experience as one of the first attorneys to sue the Catholic Church over sexual abuse by clergy.

    44 - Richelle Wiseman on Book Bans

    BUZZ on BOOK BIZ takes a different turn in this episode. Host Richelle Wiseman flies solo and raises concern about recent book bans in United States schools and libraries. She explores how Critical Race Theory is being used as a catch all term to fight children being exposed to US history of Slavery, the slave trade, and any discussion of racism.  This episode only scratches the surface of a much bigger discussion about race, equity and inclusion…but for this podcast, the focus is on books.

    43 - Sam George

    Some people have the ability to see trends forming before others can see them. Sam George is one of those people. Whether it was Socio-political and cultural trends or communications phenomenon, Sam has written books about what he has been able to see in advance of most other cultural observers. He was a co-author to a book written in 2005 titled “The Great Divide: Retro vs Metro America." It identified the very beginnings of what has become a  culture war in the United States. His latest book is “I’ll Get Back to You: The Dyscommunication Crisis: Why Unreturned Messages Drive Us Crazy and What to Do About It.”  We have a robust discussion about both books, and how technology has impacted our ability to genuinely communicate and connect with one another. Sam has some fascinating observations as a digital marketer about emails too!  Listen in! Sam George’s books can be found on Amazon.  Here is the link to “I’ll Get Back to You” — Richelle Wiseman: website | linkedin | facebook
