  • Geoff Klein Reflects On The Big Choices And Chances That Shaped His Path

    Geoff Klein Reflects On The Big Choices And Chances That Shaped His Path
    2026/08/21
    Fans of the pod will know how often my college classmates’ lives have unfolded in ways none of us could have predicted back in the mid‑1990s. Geoff Klein is a perfect example of that non‑linearity. After Amherst, he nearly landed at Leo Burnett before being told (accurately) that he seemed more interested in film than advertising. That observation set off a chain of reinventions: working for Seth Godin in New York, heading to Temple Law without any intention of practicing, and ultimately moving to Los Angeles to work in the story department at major studios like Paramount and MGM. Just when it looked like he’d found his lane, life shifted again. Geoff married a woman from Manchester, England, moved overseas, worked in real estate, and eventually returned to Philadelphia. Today he teaches at Temple and Wharton, runs a story‑driven branding practice, speaks professionally, and helps organizations adopt AI in ways that keep people at the center. Through every pivot runs a consistent worldview: humans are wired for connection and stories are how we make sense of our lives. You can email Geoff at geoffrey@ninedotsmedia.com.

  • Jeremy Kugel Uses Humor To Create Connections We’ll Never Forget

    Jeremy Kugel Uses Humor To Create Connections We’ll Never Forget
    2026/08/25
    Jeremy Kugel has spent his life turning so many ordinary moments into shared comedy and joy. In doing so, he’s built communities where people feel safe enough to laugh, open up, and create lasting connections. From the Chicken Nugget Hour of Power in Valentine, to Tuesday Night Toothbrush Fest in Stearns, to the Mardi Gras Marathon at Maryland’s dining hall, Jeremy has a rare gift: he uses humor to dissolve self‑consciousness, spark vulnerability, and create intimacy in places that are usually serious, including the world of finance. We talk about where that instinct came from, how he’s carried it through every chapter of his life, and why learning how to laugh together is one of the best ways to get comfortable with vulnerability.

    Josh Hamermesh asked, and boy, did Andy Ward deliver. In this episode, Andy, the Executive Vice President and Publisher of Random House, takes us deep into how he edits books written by some of our finest authors. In this episode, you'll learn: How Andy's father shaped his writing and editing skills. His intricate process of editing, emphasizing both detailed line edits and broader feedback. (Plus, the unlikely place where he does some of his best work.) How he approaches having tough conversations with authors. The potential impact of AI on the publishing industry, and the advice he'd give parents of young kids about how and how not to weave AI into their studies. The Amherst classmates he wants me to interview next. To get in touch with Andy, email him at andyward72@gmail.com. Update (10/1/25): Andy has appeared on more podcasts, not surprisingly: Check out his two appearances on the Kelly Corrigan Wonders podcast, entitled "Deep Dive with Andy Ward" and "Thanks For Being Here - Andy Ward"
