25: Jery Milani - The key to success is building trusting relationships that last.

Today's guest is our friend Jerry Milani. We connected with Jerry last summer when we were hoping to interview Olympic athletes.  Jerry was working for USA Wrestling and got us an interview with USA Wrestler John Stefanowicz (Ep 14) and USA Volleyball Gold Medalist Jordan Larson (Ep 13).  Jerry seems to know everyone and be involved in everything. In fact, he was our contact for scheduling Toni Breidinger (Ep 19), Sean Conley (Ep 20), and John Costacos (Ep24).

 

What does this guy do?  He connects people.  Jerry is a proud Fordham University graduate and Public Relations executive.  His job is to connect his clients to opportunities where they can build their positive public image.  He has been in PR for more that 25 years, working for two agencies before venturing out on his own.  

 

Jerry is a guy that knows everyone because he does everything.  A quick google search will show he is a staple in sports and pop culture.  

 

Jerry is a freelance writer and public relations executive. He has worked in P.R. for more than 25 years working with collegiate sports media, the International Fight League, and is the PR manager for Wizard World, which runs pop culture and celebrity conventions across North America. 

 

The best though, Jerry is the voice of the Caldwell Cougars, doing the play-by-play for Caldwell University basketball. 

 

We are grateful for Jerry, the work he does and the support he has shown us.  Enjoy the interview:
