KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The secret to being a great marketer is to not just like people, but understand them - relate to them, lead with empathy and compassion and stand in someone else's shoes.
• If the route to a solution isn't clear then hustle. Look for another way around the challenge. There's always a way to defy the odds and win.
• As a leader you have to have a vision, and the ability to take that vision and find a way to sell it. It's about finding paths to success, as though leading your tribe to safety and sustenance.
• Don't ever confuse managing with leading. Sometimes blending them can work, but in the long term it generally doesn't

BEST MOMENTS

'Get out of your freakin' head'

'Once you understand where people are coming from, you can see the white space'

'It's not who you know or what you know, but what you know about who'

'Leadership is very, very complicated'
