A psychologist, preacher, promoter, politician and a drummer.  Kevin has a varied resume, but the best part is his heart for getting it right as it relates to representing advertisers across the state and district.  His visit to our state capital was a day of listening by our legislators. The most important element of this was more about establishing that connection to perpetuate and build a stronger relationship with the folks calling the shots.  You will get a kick out of Kevin's journey and the cool things he is now doing as the Dallas Government Chair.  The conversation goes from politics to Salt N Pepa.  Enjoy.

New media, digital advertising has created some very unique challenges as it relates to transparency.  Wally's "free ad ethics day" will be repeated in the near future, and it is just one part of what Wally has dedicated his life to.  Wallys' background includes time spent as an assistant director for advertising practices at the FTC.  Wally says our industry is doing a pretty good job of doing the right thing, but there is much work to be done as advertisers build consumer trust.  We talked about the recent issues involving Facebook, and how collecting data has caused some serious problems.  Wally Snyder is an Advertising Hall of Famer, but his down-to-earth approach to our industry makes it easy to clearly see how his simplistic approach can make a big impact.  You'll enjoy meeting Wally.

You can tell that Bill Richmond really enjoys what he does and that he takes his role as Governor of the 10th District very seriously. With that being said, running the world's largest hot dog chain, there is a sense of smile that comes in the package.  Bill was our first choice to kick off the new Podcast series for AAFD10.  Bill says his biggest challenge thus far has been teaching folks how to say "Wienerschnitzel", but seriously, trying to get a grip on the many moving parts of D10.  The most exciting part, those moving parts are rapidly creating an incredibly strong district for all sorts of ad industry applications including new collegiate clubs.  You'll hear Bill's passion for AAFD10 when you listen.
