The Narrativ

Over the course of a long career in technology marketing I’ve developed a deep appreciation of storytelling. Going deeper into why something matters. This podcast takes a slight twist, by exploring the roots of the storytellers themselves - conversations that explore the backgrounds and stories of interesting people, some of whom are dear friends. There is no guarantee of which direction we might go, but topics might include sports, pop culture, business, marketing, family, travel, food and maybe even current events.

  1. Eric Schneider, Visual Storyteller; Advising Executives on Business Strategy through Sketch Noting

    Eric Schneider, Visual Storyteller; Advising Executives on Business Strategy through Sketch Noting

    Excited to have my friend Eric Schneider join me for what I hope you’ll agree is a really interesting conversation. The Narrativ was created to bring interesting people to you who you may not have heard of (or from) before with the common thread of those people being great storytellers. Eric is a great storyteller, and uses interesting mediums to tell his stories, some of which won’t translate to an audio format. So, when you’re done listening, go check out Eric’s blog at   https://ericschneiderr.wordpress.com/   or his LinkedIn profile. Eric’s currently a consultant in enterprise software and advises executives in using data to bring their customer strategy to life.   He started his career in mechanical engineering, shifted to training and selling engineering software, and continued building his career by continual learning and following his interests.   That took him to eCommerce, salesforce automation, marketing technology, analytics, and more.   Along the way, Eric built an approach to sketching and writing which helps him think, understand problems, and engage others in solving them.   He lives in Atlanta with his wife, two sons, and dog.   For fun, he enjoys biking, reading, and cooking. If you want to gain 5 pounds by proxy, just go look at the cooking photos on Eric’s Instagram.   Eric is fascinating, I think you’ll enjoy meeting him.

  2. Paul Bocanegra, Sentenced to Life in Prison at 17-Years-Old. Reform Advocate; Restorative Practitioner

    Paul Bocanegra, Sentenced to Life in Prison at 17-Years-Old. Reform Advocate; Restorative Practitioner

    This episode is very different from any I’ve done to-date. We’ve met and talked to people who are great storytellers and who have remarkable personal backstories that have framed their strengths in storytelling. For this episode, we are meeting someone who has a very powerful, and at times difficult story. Paul Bocanegra was condemned to Life Without Parole at the age of 17. Paul served twenty-five and a half years, more than twelve of those in solitary confinement, before being paroled under Senate Bill 9 which gave youth with Life Without Parole sentences an opportunity to petition the court for a second sentencing hearing. Paul transitioned back into the community in September 2017 and discharged parole in 2021 obtaining agency in his life for the first time. Today, Paul is living his life to the fullest, advocating for more reforms that would ensure that the criminal justice system never deprives another youth of a fair and meaningful opportunity to work toward restoration. Paul is a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor, a Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Commissioner for San Mateo County, a personal mentor for transitioning community members, and an expert witness in criminal justice cases involving youth. Paul has testified at the California State Capitol and helped to defeat legislation that threatened current reforms, has co-authored legislation in his county, and is a member of the Latin X Advisory Committee to Sen. Josh Becker. Paul co-founded ReEvolution to use his lens of lived experience to help ReEvolution provide meaningful support in prevention efforts, with an emphasis on youth, and person-centered reentry programs for all the transitioning community.  Paul is a motivator and educator and seeks to bring out the full potential in each life he touches. He is ReEvolutionizing transitional thinking and providing safe spaces for those thoughts to congregate and grow as a community within a community.

  5. Jesse Cole, Disruptor in a Yellow Tuxedo; Owner of the Savannah Bananas, a circus disguised as a baseball team (or maybe the other way around!)

    Jesse Cole, Disruptor in a Yellow Tuxedo; Owner of the Savannah Bananas, a circus disguised as a baseball team (or maybe the other way around!)

    Jesse is the founder of Fans First Entertainment and the owner of the Savannah Bananas baseball team. He’s the infamous “dude in the yellow tux” and a man who’s truly disrupting the way baseball is played, presented and consumed. Jesse is to baseball what PT Barnum was to Circuses. Fans First Entertainment has been on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing companies in America & Jesse’s teams have welcomed more than a million fans to their ballparks and have a quarter of a million more Tik Tok followers than any major league team, at a time when baseball is viewed as increasingly tedious and not able to reach younger audiences. Jesse released his first book “Find your Yellow Tux” and launched it in the most perfect way – with a World Tour… A World Tour that took place entirely within EPCOT.  Jesse owns seven yellow tuxedos and even proposed to his wife Emily while wearing one in front of a sold-out crowd, and they later married in the stadium. Jesse also hosts the Business Done Differently Podcast. Strap in for this, Jesse is energy exemplified and a true business innovator. Totally fascinating.

  8. Dr. Jeffrey C. Smith, Founder & CEO of Smule; Serial Entrepreneur; PhD. in Computer-based Music & Acoustics

    19/10/2021

    Dr. Jeffrey C. Smith, Founder & CEO of Smule; Serial Entrepreneur; PhD. in Computer-based Music & Acoustics

    Dr. Jeffrey C. Smith and I go way back, before the prefix doctor was added to his name. In fact, Jeff was my boss for a couple of years – he was the founder & CEO of Tumbleweed Communications, where I lead the marketing team. After Jeff sold Tumbleweed, he tried to pivot away from technology, and returned to Stanford to follow his first love – music. In fact Jeff’s mother was his first piano teacher, starting when he was only 4-years-old. Ultimately, after a surprisingly winding journey, Jeff earned a doctorate in computer-based music & acoustics from Stanford. But like the Mafia, technology…or maybe venture capitalists – can suck you right back in, especially after you and a friend created an idea during your studies that was perfect for the times – a thing that became Smule. At the start in 2008, Smule was just a company with a fun name and a big dream. They aspired to bring music back to its roots and empower anyone to join in. Today, Smule is a vibrant, global community of music lovers where millions of people across the world come together each day to share their passion for music, make new friends, cheer each other on, and simply have fun. The story of how Jeff got there is a lot of fun.   I think you’ll find it as fascinating as I do.
