EPISODE #002 – TY MONTAGUE

RECORDED MARCH 9, 2017.

Hey, everyone! This is our second episode of the A-List, the podcast that asks the world’s top advertising professionals how they got started in the business. In today’s episode, Tom chats with Ty Montague, CEO of co:collective and author of “True Story: How to Combine Story and Action to Transform Your Business.” They discuss Ty’s interesting, circuitous route into the advertising industry and his job as a bartender where it all began. Ty provides some valuable advice for students trying to break into the industry, and urges them to create as much as they can, wherever they are. You’ll hear him talk about troublemakers and why he likes people who break things. You’ll learn how “storydoing” can help you land your first job in advertising. Finally, you won’t want to miss Ty’s take on whether we’re living in a computer simulation. You can follow Ty on Twitter at @tmontague and on Facebook here.
