I have on episode 289 of #thePOZcast, one of my top 10 wish list guests. My guest is the one and only Booozoma Saint John! Boz was voted #1 most influential CMO by Forbes in 2021 and is literally in the American Marketing Hall of Fame. She’s a master marketer with an insane resume to match that boasts companies like Apple, Uber, and Netflix. She began her career at Spike Lee’s advertising agency, gradually climbing up the ranks to senior marketing positions at companies such as PepsiCo, Apple Music, and Endeavor.  Most recently, she served as the Global Chief Marketing Officer at a little film company called, Netflix. An accomplished entrepreneur, author, and all-around badass, Bozoma's career was also recently featured in a multimedia case study at Harvard Business School.  Today we are here to unpack her life through the lens of her career and celebrate her new book, "The Urgent Life,". She is also one of the only humans on earth like me to have a deep love of egg/cheese on a cin raisin bagel. To say I am excited is an understatement. Bozoma is a personal idol of mine, and I am beyond excited to make the most of every minute we have with her, so please enjoy this truly amazing conversation.
