VP, Podcasting - Blogger

What exactly do you do at Sound?
My primary role is Head of Podcasting where I strategize & research one of the fastest-growing mediums in all of Marketing. I’m constantly in contact with all of the major networks in the industry to stay up to speed on the latest tech and to scout up-and-coming hit shows before our clients’ competitors are hip to them. I’m also always available with some timely Web & IT skills if needed in a pinch. Last but not least for 17 weeks of the year I’m Tha Commish of our Fantasy League, appropriately named, “Sound N’ Pound”. The highlight of every season is when I proudly get to hand out the most coveted prize in all of sports, “The Soundbardi Trophy”!

What do you like best about your job?
Bringing together a brand and the perfect podcast’s audience is like introducing 2 of your friends at a party that you know will *totally hit it off*… It makes my hundreds of hours spent getting to know the shows so worth it… and it’s of course very profitable for the client.

Name something you can’t live without.
Sriracha

Where do you see things going in the next few years?
In addition to having podcasts in the ears of listeners all day long… Many, many people are now watching Podcast Episodes on YouTube. I can easily see this becoming the next Late Night TV.

What Superhero would you be?
I say, just be yourself… Unless you can be Thor… then definitely be Thor =)

Favorite motivational movie quote?
“I will not rest until I have you holding a Coke, wearing your own shoe, playing a Sega game *featuring you* while singing your own song in a new commercial *starring you* broadcast during the Superbowl, in a game that you are *winning* and I will not sleep until that happens.” – Jerry Maguire
