Ep 43: Dave Knickerbocker (Banner Collective)

Painless Podcast episode 43: Dave Knickerbocker (Founder, Banner Collective) Dave shares how he made his sports job break happen in minor league baseball, his "harassment" of the Cubs' John McDonough with constant phone calls -- and handwritten thank you notes! -- that earned him a promotion to the major leagues, a huge step up at the Blackhawks and most recently, co-founding a now thriving production agency. Did I mention he plotted Banner while working at the Hawks? With the help of Hawks' ownership? Check out this terrific open and honest chat with Dave Knickerbocker.
