This is a short bonus episode because I want to talk to you about something I’m really excited about, and I think you might be too. On July 23rd, Awaiting Approval LIVE is happening again. Live, in person, in three cities at the same time: London, San Francisco and New York City. I’ll be hosting the London room. Amy Khan is hosting San Francisco. Maryam Cristillo is hosting New York. And each room has a special guest who’s going to face the Clipboard of Truth - rapid-fire questions, no prep, nowhere to hide - followed by questions from the audience. In London, our guest is David Sheldon-Hicks , CEO and Co-Founder of Territory Group. If you’ve seen Blade Runner 2049 , Dune , Prometheus , Guardians of the Galaxy , The Batman , Star Wars or Avengers … David and his team designed the screen worlds inside those films. In San Francisco, it’s Gray Joyce . 25+ years across Google , Visa , YouTube , Samsung , Netflix , HP and Gap . Now CCO and Managing Partner at Thedas. And in New York, it’s Sunny Stafford . Creative and brand executive with 20+ years across Victoria’s Secret , BareMinerals , WholeFoods and 1-800-Flowers . Now a fractional CMO who believes the divide between creative and commercial teams is the most expensive myth in modern marketing. So, why am I doing this? Because this podcast has always been about what happens when creative leaders are honest with each other. And that works brilliantly in a recorded conversation between two people. But there’s something different about a room. About being physically present. About hearing someone answer a question they weren’t expecting, in real time, with 30 other people watching. I am planning to record the whole thing, and yes, it’ll probably become an episode. So you might be thinking, why not just wait…","meta_description":"Hey, it’s Adam.
