- Careers
Today’s guest believes being human is your competitive advantage.
He is a renowned business strategist, global keynote speaker, executive trainer and coach, investor, and Forbes contributor. As President and co-owner of PureMatter, a Silicon Valley global marketing agency and CEO of H2H Companies, he sparked the Human-to-Human H2H global movement that aims to humanize business through simpler communication, empathy, and celebrate our imperfections.
He’s the two-time best-selling author of “There Is No B2B or B2c: It's Human to Human #H2h” and “Shareology: How Sharing is Powering the Human Economy.”
Forbes calls him a “Zen Master to Digital Marketers” and his TED Talk featured a TED first allowing mobile devices during the event to illustrate his belief that even a small inspirational share holds the power to change the world for the better.
Please join me in welcoming Bryan Kramer.
In this episode we discuss:
His thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is helping someone else grow. It’s not about yourself, it’s about others. If you’re not growing someone else, you’re not a leader. Full stop.”
The influence his parents had on him, including encouraging him to put himself out there whether it was running for office through high school or becoming an eagle scout.
How he mingled between all the cliques in high school as an ambivert. “I was able to hang out with everyone. I found it really neat to bring people together.”
Why he doesn’t believe in popular vs. unpopular, people are either connected or not connected.
Why he wants to surround himself with people who mean something to him, are good, and light him up.
His experience being a firefighter and the class that turned him towards communications instead of the medical field.
How an F on a jazz test changed the trajectory of his entire life. “Who knew an F on a paper was going to lead me down this road?”
His out of college experience of building websites and computer programming and how that led to Bryan building his own agency.
How he met his partner in both life and business.
Why he believes marketing changes every 2-3 years.
Why companies loved the creativity of personalized results and Bryan’s “Human 2 Human concept.”
Why he maintains so many subscriptions to many different things.
Why he loves Flipboard and how it helps him see the world the way he wants to see it.
How a conversation with his 12-year-old son completely rocked his world and prompted him to close his agency.
How he nurtures and sustains the outer levels of his network.
What he’s looking forward to in the year ahead.
