Andrew Dietz A Subversive in Brooks Brothers Clothing Interview on Capital Club Radio

Michael Flock spends time speaking with businessman, consultant, author and community leader, Andrew Dietz, about the power of relationships, branding and how to create a strong internal and external culture.

Andrew Dietz, Founder of Creative Growth and Co-Founder of Creative Influence, a sales-enabled public relations content firm for business-to-business organizations.  His clients have included firms such as Deloitte, Grant Thornton, Gensler, Perkins + Will, Wells Fargo Insurance, Chubb, Avanade (Accenture), Edelman Public Relations, Microsoft Professional Services, Cushman & Wakefield, Jones Lang LaSalle and many more.

Andrew is an industry-recognized expert on B2B Services strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, marketing and revenue growth. He is a frequent contributing writer and speaker on marketing and management issues for national business publications and associations. In 2014, McGraw-Hill published Andrew’s book, The Opening Playbook: A Professional’s Guide to Building Relationships That Grow Revenue.

Prior to launching Creative Growth in 2003, Andrew was a consultant with Egon Zehnder International, one of the world’s leading human capital advisory and executive search firms. He co-founded netWorth Partners, a Private Equity investment firm affiliated with Mellon Bank, and he served as CEO of SideTalk and successfully executed its sale to a publicly traded entity.  Additionally, Andrew was a founding member of BellSouth’s Internet service provider, BellSouth.net, where he served as VP, Product Marketing and led the marketing launch of BellSouth’s broadband service.

Andrew lives in Atlanta, GA where his community leadership has focused on building the city’s creative community.  He has served on the Board of Directors for the Anti-Defamation League, Atlanta College of Art, IMAGE Film and Video (Atlanta Film Festival), High Museum’s Contemporary Art Society, Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia and of VOX Teen Communications.  He also wrote the nationally acclaimed book, The Last Folk Hero – A True Story of Race and Art, Power and Profit which championed raw creative talent in the world of outsider art. (Ellis Lane Press, 2006)

Here is a glimpse of what Andrew shared in the interview:

“I was different. I’m a subversive in Brooks Brothers clothing, so I didn’t think that I would be accepted at BellSouth. But that was a really great environment for me. I say, especially early in your career, you want three things, network, name and knowledge.”

“…as I look at you and your business, you’ve built tremendous relationships as your team with people in the market. So, it does exist, but there is a reputation you’re dealing with. And that reputation certainly is translated to consumer relationships.”

“…relationships are built, we could say one conversation at a time. Great conversations start with curiosity, genuine curiosity.”

“And Steve Ross said 10% thinking, 90% doing. Strategy before tactics doesn’t mean you over think, but you have got to put a little time in, aiming before firing.”

Team Rubicon and Bonus RUUM Discuss Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief on the Rich Hart Show

Joe Messere
Deputy Director of Region Operations, Southeast 
Team Rubicon USA

About Joe:
NonProfit Executive, Veteran, Entrepreneur. Making a difference in people's lives every day through disaster response and veteran reintegration. Passionate for our dual mission of disaster relief and veteran reintegration. Accountable for implementation of national programs, division strategies, and meeting regional recruiting, training and engagement goals. Ensures sustained readiness, growthand engagement of the volunteer base within the region. Drives excellence, innovation and communication among the regional team, with and across state teams, and with other regions. Accelerates regional development through process creation, standardization, training, and distribution of case studies and best practices.


 

About Team Rubicon USA:


Team Rubicon focuses on serving vulnerable and at-risk populations affected by disaster. While the initial damage and trauma of natural disasters will impact any population regardless of socio-economic factors, the financial burden of recovery and rebuilding has dramatic and long-lasting repercussions on many rural and urban populations lacking proper insurance and public and private resources.

All Team Rubicon services are provided free of charge.
In 2016, 62 percent of all homes Team Rubicon serviced did not have home insurance. An American Progress report noted that the most extreme weather events typically harmed counties with household incomes below the U.S. median annual income of $51,941. Wildfires, tornadoes, and severe thunderstorms devastated areas with households that earned on average three percent less than the U.S. median income. It is easy to imagine the positive, long-term impact Team Rubicon’s free assistance provided to these families.

Team Rubicon unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams. Team Rubicon’s primary mission is providing disaster relief to those affected by natural disasters, be they domestic or international. By pairing the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders, medical professionals, and technology solutions, Team Rubicon aims to provide the greatest service and impact possible.

Through continued service, Team Rubicon seeks to provide our veterans with three things they lose after leaving the military: a purpose, gained through disaster relief; community, built by serving with others; and identity, from recognizing the impact one individual can make. Coupled with leadership development and other opportunities, Team Rubicon looks to help veterans transition from military to civilian life.

Serving the Underserved
Across the world, disasters are a part of life. No corner of the globe is spared from severe weather – be it crippling winter storms, catastrophic hurricanes, or unchecked wildfires.

By focusing on underserved or economically-challenged communities, Team Rubicon seeks to makes the largest impact possible. Disasters represent a massive financial cost, and by providing immediate relief work, free of cost, TR aims to help communities begin recovery sooner.
