OhHello - a show about non BS career mentorship and expert advice

OhHello!

It's episode 75, and this #adtech #influencer is not only proud to be an early "Hello" (mentor) on the OhHello.io 🌞☕️ platform, but Ari Paparo also co-hosts, with Eric Franchi, one of the best pods in #digitaladvertising #marketing (a la Marketecture Media).

As an AdTech pioneer (Doubleclick, Google, AppNexus) to CEO of Beeswax (Acquired by Comcast), Ari has picked up a thing or two during his tenure in the ecosystem.

In this episode, he provides advice, actionable tips for entrepreneurs, and pays homage to 2 powerhouse mentors that helped him along the way:

🔥 David Rosenblatt --> "what's the 1 thing we can do to create change?" - that has made an impact on Ari for 20 yrs

⚖️ Neal Mohan --> being able to manage complexity amongst teams, products, and still always GSD

We're stoked to have Ari on the OhHello.io platform!

OhHello!!!
It's episode 59 and this "Hello" (featured Mentor on OhHello.io) is notoriously known around the hashtag#marketing hashtag#advertising hashtag#career circles as the "Pay It Forward" guy.
Well, today's the day we give Marc Goldberg some attention and back-pats for doing all he does!
This hashtag#payitforward powerhouse runs Stages Collective, and he is the ultimate mensch that you've likely seen in your LI feeds. He's the kind of pro you want to learn from - so after this episode, go book time with him on OhHello.io!
During this vod, Marc Goldberg walks us through his approach. As the go-to guy for connecting people, and fostering opportunities, his "pay it forward" mantra has transformed lives in the professional realm.
He's been a mentor to accelerator programs like 500 Startups + Techstars, has coached, and proudly connected people throughout his career. From the early days of being a media buyer to running global teams and eventually being a CEO, his words of wisdom are simple: just be a good person!
Professional mentors like Liz Fox + Ron McCoy played pivotal roles in shaping Marc early on, and there are so many other mentors and colleagues Marc wants to tag, including the influence of his parents/step-parents (whom are retired law professors and Evanston, IL socialites), in shaping his worldviews.
Beyond business, this OhHello.io 🌞☕️ mentor actively contributes to the community. Organizing events like the Glen Rock Fourth of July parade and supporting causes like Breastcancer.org reflect his commitment to giving back.
Parting Words of Wisdom:
Marc shares a gem from one of his mentors: "Do what you're supposed to be doing while you're supposed to be doing it. Have fun." His advice resonates with finding joy in your career.
🙌 Thank you, Marc Goldberg, for the enriching conversation!

1) The job market is tough for marketers right now. How to pivot, stay active, stick out
2) Loyalty - an oxymoron? We are loyal as consumers and brand loyalty is the pinnacle acquisition strategy, but are loyalties between employees-employers starting to shift?
