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.
