The Ideas That Change Everything w/ Raindrop Creative Chairman Rob Strasberg

And so this is a big question, but I know it's one you think about a lot.

I'm like, you know, I kind of started this whole thing with when you experience something like that, it gives you a new perspective and new confidence.

I was actually, I was having dinner with Ryan Hicks, one of our team members last night.

And he was he was saying that those moments he's like, I think about it like I'm a camel and I feel my hump.

And he's like, you know, those moments will fuel you through all of the other hard things because you have the confidence and you have this experience that no one can take away from you that you carry forward that allows you to work through all the other things.

It's never easy and never everything's not a success, but to get to those next breakthrough moments.

And so I'm like, well, that could have been the end of the story.

It

wasn't by any means.

And it

wasn't even the beginning of the story.

We skipped, obviously, so much history.

You should write a book because I'm your uncle, one of the original madmen.

And you had so much perspective and hunger and interest and all this and a raw ability.

And so I guess my question is coming out of that, what are some of the things that you feel like as you look looked into the future? What did you carry forward? Like what filled your what filled your hump coming out of that experience?

What's one thing I say about going to CPB after the experience in New York City? And in a way, I learned classical advertising and what an idea is.

It was the ultimate training ground for the craft of advertising.

Right.

But it was also it was a different box, you know, and so I would say I was classically advertising.

And I look back and I go, You know, and I went down to CPB and I said, Alex Bogusky handed me an electric guitar, you know, and I was like ready.

I was just ready to take advantage of all the opportunities that were down there because there was a youthful energy that was just happening.

And as wonderful as Grace and Rothschild, my sort of my learning grounds were, it was you look back and it was just.

bit tired.

It was like working at a, an art gallery or, or an antiques gallery for advertising, you know, and, and in a way we're competing against those.

And I can't say enough great things about that place and my friends there and all that, but it was, I had a perspective, it was time to go.
