A unique opportunity to listen in on an after-hours fireside conversation with Founder CEOs.
These are extraordinary times. At a macro-level, the global pandemic is shaping every aspect of life and has created a global recession at unprecedented speed. In marketing research, the impact stories can be extremely different depending on who is sharing them.
CEO Founders Unscripted is an off-the-cuff conversation with four industry founder operators sharing how they took their visions to market, how they are evolving to not only survive but also thrive.
I miss the candid discussion at industry events – the informal interactions between sessions and over drinks in the bar. I often take away more from these conversations than anything else. With CEOs Unscripted, I wanted to create a forum for this kind of dialogue to recreate open and thought-provoking discussions where we’re free to ask big questions, reflect on challenges, and share what we’re seeing in our companies and the industry. I hope CEOs Unscripted will be just that. Until we can get together again in person, tune in for first-hand perspectives for managing the combined pressures, responsibilities, successes, and, most importantly, the lessons that will emerge from the conversations.“
Eavesdropping on this type of intimate conversation might raise some eyebrows. The good news is ‚Founders Unscripted‘ casts off etiquette and invites you to listen in with a front-row seat.
