535 - Dem Snicket Boyz: Part 01

After many restless days and lonely nights your favorite International Bromance return stronger than ever. Mark and Sean have been apart for too long and this is the first snippet from dem snicket boyz catching up, hanging out, and breaking it all down. From unveiling the secrets of public speaking to a new overseas sponsorship potentially on Mark's horizon, the antics ensue right form the start. Once the Breaking News starts breaking these two are serving up some serious advice about the art of negotiation and how to keep as much control of your creativity as possible. Not only do we get to hear how these skills apply directly to the question at hand from a fellow Trustee, but Sean also uses his own recent experiences with SXSW to detail the application of the concepts he and Mark unpack. This episode is an incredible example of why it's important to never stop learning, be present in the moment to reap the rewards in front of you, and sew the seeds of success for your tomorrow.
