The Reinventionists: Doug Olson & David Adler on Personal & Publishing Evolutions

Описание: How can mentoring lead to a whole new career? How do dinner conversations and AI come together to drive entrepreneurship? Host E.B. Moss is joined by two renowned #media veterans -- Doug Olson and David Adler, both recipients of the Eddie & Ozzie Awards in Publishing and recent inductees into the Folio: Hall of Fame. And both of whom have gone from being presidents of #publishing companies to completely reinventing themselves.
Doug Olson, former President of Meredith Corporation, shares his journey from tech programmer to media mogul. He discusses the evolution of Meredith, its major acquisitions, and how it navigated the transition from print to digital media. Olson also shares his recent venture as co-CEO of #BombParty, a thriving and unique jewelry company that uses social media to engage customers.

David Adler, the founder of Washington Dossier and #BizBash, talks about some pretty innovative contributions to media and event marketing. He highlights how now he is an unabashed AI acolyte and explains how it has revolutionized his latest venture, GatheringPoint.News, allowing for creative storytelling and increased efficiency. But David is also stopping to smell "The Roses", making the most of his author father's legacy by helping enable that current box office hit!

Both guests exemplify the concept of 'perennials,' individuals who continuously evolve and remain curious, regardless of generational labels. Their stories illustrate the importance of adaptability, lifelong learning, and embracing new technologies in media or just for mental well-being!
