    Influencing the Influential with Salvi Media

    To entrepreneurs and brothers Chris and Will Salvi, the CEO should be the most influential person at any particular company. And with their Emmy®-award winning YouTube program The CEO Series — through their media brand Executive House — they've worked to prove this theory by humanizing the C-suite. Via in-depth conversations with the heads of Goodyear, Wintrust, Morningstar, Potbelly and more, the duo have not only bolstered their own content agency in Salvi Media, but have created a worldwide network of elite thought leaders from the ground up. On today's episode with Ozinga CEO Marty Ozinga, the Salvis detail how playing Notre Dame football in front of 80,000 people prepped them to go one-on-one with some of the most powerful people in business. Plus, how authenticity breeds more customer loyalty than any spreadsheet can show. Full video of this episode is available at http://ozinga.com/podcasts.
