In Honor Of REMIX: Album 1 Track 6 – Rob Stone, Founder, CO-CEO @cornerstoneagency, Co-Founder @thefadar - If you’re not risking your job every week, what are you doing?
Today’s REMIX episode is dedicated to the memory of an exceptional Brand Nerd, Rob Stone. Rob was one of our earliest guest and close friend of DC. The gems shared in this episode proves that his impact and words of wisdom live on forever.

Quick question: What do Puff, Steve Jobs, Brahms, Clive Davis, Run DMC, Funkmaster Flex, Biggie, Jim Valvano (RIP), Pharrell, KRS-One, and Guinness World Records have in common? Epic stories, well told by Rob Stone. There as those who follow culture, those who enjoy experiencing culture and those who create culture. Rob Stone, Jon Cohen and The Cornerstone Agency and The FADAR team CREATE culture. Period. This week’s show is about far more than marketing. It’s about what happens when life intertwines with work and they make a beautiful baby. In this case, twins (you’ll get the joke after listening). Full disclosure: This dude is one of DC’s best friends. Rob happens to be an ICON on the low. You Must Learn! (shout The Teacher).
