Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi there, I'm Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia.
I'm excited to announce a brand new season of my podcast,
Math and Magic Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing. It's
coming on March thirtieth. If you've ever wondered what it
takes to build a competitive brand from the ground up,
You've come to the right place. I got my start
in radio, went on to build MTV, have spent my

(00:22):
life innovating and leading at companies like Aol, Time, Warner,
America Online, Six Flag, Steam Parks, Cossa, Dragons, Tequila, and
now full circle back to my first love, all things
audio at iHeartMedia. But even with decades of leadership experience,
I never assume I know everything. This podcast is my
opportunity to learn from others and positions like mine and

(00:44):
to let you in on their secrets. People who make
big decisions with big consequences every day, like founder and
CEO of Boom Supersonic Lake Seul, who didn't let them,
they say, or stop him from resurrecting the dream of
profitable supersonic aviation. Doesn't matter what you've already done. What
matters more is what you can learn to do Goop

(01:04):
founder and CEO Gwyneth Paltrow, who found the courage to
unleash her business brain despite a list success in another field.
So many people when I started were like, what the
hell is she doing? Like she has this good day job,
Like what is this? And Alan Grubman, beloved entertainment lawyer
and long time trusted adviser to Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, and me,

(01:27):
the best deals ever made are the deals where both
parties walk away that one hundred percent happy. We're also
hearing from Media Magnet Paris, Hilton, Radio Hall of Fame
inductee Angela Yee, and many more. Through all my conversations,
I'll be probing my guests for their use of what
I believe are the two essential ingredients to success in

(01:50):
business and marketing, the math and the magic. That's the
analytics paired with the creative spark. And when those two
things come together at the right moment, that's when things
are magical. Listen to the new season of Math and
Magic stories from the Frontiers and Marketing starting March thirtieth
on our very own iHeartRadio, app, Apple Podcast, or wherever
