Eaon chats with Steven Hess. Steven was Eaon's boss and co-founder of the pioneering digital ad agency Weapon7 back in the day and has since gone on to be a startup advisor and investor amongst other things. They talk about the early days of digital advertising in London, Steven's work with a nonprofit accelerator, the traits of successful founders and more.

Eaon chats again with the great Steve Harrison. Steve's latest book 'Can't Sell, Won't Sell' has just been updated with six new chapters, they discuss this and the continued politicisation of advertising institutions such as the D&AD by its leaders - regardless of what anyone else might think - the circular logic of so-called Brand purpose and much more.

In season two of SBBS Radio, Eaon chats with former agency suit, agency owner, and then co-founder the Client Relationship Consultancy Paul Cowan. They mostly talk about Paul's fantastic new book 'Connecting With Clients', a must-read for anyone in an agency and probably on the client-side too. More info about Paul, his work and the book at paulcowan.com and the book itself is available pretty much wherever books are sold.

Eaon joined Ogilvy Consulting's Rory Sutherland, Jordan Buck and Researcher Lachezar Ivanov in a panel discussion following the presentation of their paper that explores the evolutionary lens on standardisation v adaptation in global advertising.

Eaon talks with Andy Nairn, co-founder and CEO of Lucky Generals in London. Andy has written a splendid book 'Go Luck Yourself'. The lessons among the 40 chapters are how to appreciate what you’ve got, look out for opportunities everywhere, turn misfortune into good fortune and how to practise being lucky, every day. They also digress into a bit of football chat and you can learn how a 19th-century Italian acrobat influenced the repositioning of Pot Noodle.

Go Luck Yourself is out in June, but can be preordered here (UK and Australia links)
