The Power of Print Media

Introduction

Patrick
My guess today is Adam Sandow. Adam is the Chairman and CEO of SANDOW Companies and the Executive Chairman and Founder of Material Bank. He has built an entire ecosystem of businesses and brands that has brought him into the game of media, materials and beyond.

From creating the beauty product subscription model to getting magazines in the hands of billionaires to transforming the design industry with overnight access to samples, when Adam starts a business, he writes his own rule book. We discussed the founding stories of his most interesting companies, his obsession with targeting pain points and his philosophies for when to go all in and betting on himself. Please enjoy this great discussion with Adam Sandow.
