Tonia Ries, the Global Executive Director of Intellectual Property at Edelman and steward of the Edelman Trust Barometer, joins The Business Communicators to discuss the cause of this paradox and how it is a wake-up call and challenge for these institutions to look at new ways to effectively rebuild trust with their stakeholders.
Then, NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver Emmanuel Sanders has always preferred to use pen and paper. Before winning the Super Bowl with the Broncos, as a teenager he used a journal to organize his thoughts and create his vision for the future. Emmanuel is also an entrepreneur, husband and father who continues to use journals to track his goals and build upon his dreams.
He joins the show to talk about his partnership with TRU RED to launch their Expert Notetaking Collection of writing journals and pens for entrepreneurs to bring their most creative ideas to life. Our listeners can check them out at staples.com/spark2finish.
The show closes as Austin, Hattie and Thomas break down the recent Wall Street and Reddit saga and whether or not financial institutions can be trusted moving forward. And, a discussion on why Budweiser is winning the advertising battle ahead of this week’s Super Bowl.
