The Daily Drive is a podcast for entrepreneurs, marketers, sales people, leaders, and any person seeking success.   Listen to Part 2 of The Daily Drive podcast with David Barnett, the  CEO of Pop Sockets. Bio:  David Barnett is the founder and CEO of PopSockets LLC. He was a philosophy major at Emory, a physics major at CU-Boulder, received his PhD in philosophy from NYU, and from 2005-2015 was a philosophy professor at CU-Boulder. His research specialized in philosophy of language and philosophy of mind, before he reached enlightenment and became an entrepreneur. In 2010, Barnett was looking to stop his earbud cord from getting tangled and achieved this by gluing two buttons to the back of his phone and wrapping the earbud cord around the buttons. As ugly as the buttons were, they worked. In the course of improving on the idea, he developed about 60 different prototypes, making the buttons expand and collapse via an accordion mechanism, so that they could function as both a stand and a grip. In 2012, Barnett launched a Kickstarter campaign for an iPhone case with two PopSockets grips integrated into the case. In addition to getting successfully funded, the KickStarter campaign enabled Barnett to show the world his dancing prowess. Two years later, in 2014, Barnett launched the business out of his garage in Boulder, Colorado, and has subsequently sold over 140 million PopSockets grips around the world.  Pop Sockets Social Media: Instagram Twitter

Listen to Part 2 of The Daily Drive podcast with Jeff Bradford, the CEO of Bradford Group. An excerpt from: bradfordgroup.com  In 2000, Jeff Bradford and Gina Gallup opened the Bradford Group, a marketing agency designed to do two things: 1) combine traditional and digital marketing tactics, and 2) approach marketing through public relations instead of advertising.  Here’s how we put it in our original business plan: “Unlike typical web shops or Internet boutiques, which are primarily programming/design firms, the Bradford Group integrates these technical skills with marketing planning – so that new media are used effectively to meet client objectives. Unlike traditional advertising and PR agencies, we place equal emphasis on traditional and new media – and are equally proficient in both.” This combination of traditional and digital marketing was one of two legs of our brand of marketing. The other was approaching marketing through the lens of public relations, instead of advertising. Check out the book suggested by Jeff Bradford: Mastering the Rockefeller Habits by Verne Harnish   The Daily Drive is a podcast for entrepreneurs, marketers, sales people, leaders and any person seeking success.
