Mike and I have been friends ten years. We started out in Chicago working together at Commonground - one of the hottest experiential marketing agencies around - and developed a friendship and relationship that'll last a lifetime. A few years later we hijacked the Cap'n Crunch marketing plan and created "Where's the Cap'n?" which gained nationwide press in AdAge and even The Today Show. Mike stayed in advertising, I started selling donuts, and fast forward to today, Mike and his wife Danielle are running their own home design and contracting company, Clark and Aldine. It's been a hell of a ride and we're just getting started. I loved this conversation and diving deep into life before Strange, and specfically how I learned the ropes through wild adventures in advertising. Enjoy, and thanks for listening!
