he phrase “yes, and…” isn’t just a pillar of improv theater, it should also form the foundation of your business according to today’s guest on All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett.

Linda Kaplan Thaler is the President of Kaplan Thaler Productions and there’s a good chance you know some of the brands she helped make famous -- the AFLAC duck, the Toys “R”Us theme song and the “YES! YES! YES” from Herbal Essences. They all came from Linda’s ad agency. 

She started her career as an actress and comedian and continues to use some of the lessons she learned on stage in the business world. Linda offered listeners great advice on how to stay positive despite what’s going on in the economy. She also believes that little things ad up and it’s important to be grateful and think about how you can help others: even your competition. Linda also shared with Jeffrey why doubt is important and why you need to think laterally, not literally.
