Episode 013 // What Have I Been Up To?! (Update on Life, Podcast Direction)
Well, I'm back! Haha. Nothing life threatening or any health issues that prevented me from this. Thought I'd share not only what has been going on since, I'd assume, about a year ago. TL;DR, I fell in love; changed jobs; traveled to Korea and Hong Kong; and realized a couple interesting things about myself. Oh, and I was on my favorite podcast of all time, bamboo & glass (https://bambooandglass.buzzsprout.com/)! Thank you to both Da Eun and Sophia for letting us tell our story. (Us? Yeah you're going to have to tune into episode 137 (https://bambooandglass.buzzsprout.com/241094/8954969-137-finding-love-across-the-world-on-clubhouse-ft-tony-lee).. hehe)
But, meanwhile, I am back. And it feels so good!

Episode 001 // David Berry, Founder of DB + Partners
Welcome to the first episode! David Berry, a friend and a co-founder of an advertising agency, DB + Partners, chatted with me live about advertising during COVID-19, TikTok, marketing messaging and our previous time at another agency together.

Excerpt from dbpluspartners.com
Hustlers. Doers. Jokesters. Thinkers.
Let’s face it. Big shops have big bills to pay. And sure, it makes for a nice walking tour when you stop by, but that fancy furniture? You pay for it. The overhead on employees, some of whom don’t even work on your account? You pay for it. That exorbitant electric bill? Same.
Which makes you wonder - when they create your scope of work, are they giving you what you need, or what they need to justify salaries and expenses?
So we’ve flipped the model. Our partners have their own shops and are experts in their own right. When you need a specific skill set, we get it for you. If you don’t, we don’t try to push it on you just because. You get only what you need, and you get the best of it.
In short, we’re from the “big-time” advertising world but we’re not molded by it. That means we know how to handle the most demanding of demanding clients, but we’re unencumbered by the (boring) business as usual. Sure, we can do basic.
