Ep 41: Jim Andrews (IEG Sponsorship Conference & ESP Properties)

Painless Podcast episode 41: Jim Andrews (SVP, ESP Properties & Chair, IEG Sponsorship Conference) Jim explains how a high school teacher scared him away from pursuing an acting career and he shifted to journalism. Northwestern University's famed Medill School of Journalism lured him to Chicago. One fateful day in grad school, he passed the Medill job board - real corkboard, not a website - and spotted an interesting job with a new marketing newsletter. That newsletter became The IEG Sponsorship Report, and Jim has never looked back. Hear his story on Episode 41 of the Painless Podcast.
