Ep 71: Jonathan Mildenhall of 21st Century Brand on Vulnerability

"The Humanist".

Jonathan Mildenhall is the founder of 21st Century Brand, and the former CMO of AirBNB. 

The launch of his new marketing practice has generated a lot of attention across the creative industries. That’s not a surprise - his reputation as a leader of rare influence precedes him. Jonathan wears his heart on his sleeve. And draws you towards him. The first time we ever spoke was a year ago when I asked him to come on this show. He not only said, yes. He gave me a way to think about Fearless that raised my own ambitions for what the show could become. 

His openness during that first conversation has stayed with me. It is a characteristic you find in some of the most Fearless creative leaders.

Which is why this week’s theme is Vulnerability. You’ll find more on Vulnerability on the Fearless Creative Leadership podcast website, and read more about The Power of Vulnerability here.

Here's Jonathan Mildenhall.
