The Power of a Speak Up Culture with Stephen Shedletzky

As members of the 1-800-Flowers Board of Directors, Adam Hanft and Jim have a friendship stretching far back. Founder and CEO of Hanft Ideas, Adam is a globally known expert in strategy, marketing, branding, and messaging.

He is co-author of "Dictionary of the Future," a columnist for Huffington Post, Fast Company, and many more, and was a digital strategy consultant to President Obama's 2008 campaign.

Called a "marketing guru" by USA Today, Adam had a successful career as an advertising agency founder, winning over 100 major awards, including an Effie for effectiveness, and created "Flick Your Bic," named one of the 50 greatest ad campaigns by Entertainment Weekly.

Possessing an array of passions and areas of expertise that complement Jim's, the two share ideas for a fascinating open-ended conversation covering everything from polarization and entitlement to comedy and climate.
