Intro
This chapter recounts a personal story of battling epilepsy through various medical treatments and the resilience it demands. It also humorously contrasts this serious journey with a light-hearted discussion on unique fashion choices like hats and visors.
Michael King is one of the leading marketing executive recruiters working today and is also the author of a new book, Be There When I Return, a memoir of epilepsy, love, and success. Michael joins co-hosts Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson to discuss his personal journey with both epilepsy and his career, along with crucial career advice for marketing leaders looking for their next roles. Michael shares how the CEO should factor into your job search, why you shouldn’t chase titles, and the state of the job market for B2B marketing executives.
Also, Craig tries out a new look and Matt relives an epic beach party in Vegas.
