Album 4 Track 4 – Dante Simpson, Co-Founder at ESPAT | TNJ 40 Under 40 | TEDx

Hey Brand Nerds! We are rounding out Black History Month with another extraordinary Black leader in the marketing, brand, and tech space.
Today we are chatting with Dante Simpson who has had a career as vibrant and extraordinary as he is. From his time playing football at THE Ohio State University to his experiences in fashion, health, and sports - gems are dropped. You'll leave inspired, perplexed, and ready to take on your next career move knowing that there is not one traditional path in the marketing industry. 

Key Takeaways: 
  • Not every career is linear, with the right skill set, you can be successful in various industries 
  • Marketing and branding (when done right) are a force that brings people together. If we say, "my bologna has a first name..." - we all gather to finish the jingle
  • Dante creates space for those that are to come behind him and this shows up in the multiple stories Dante shares
  • Last but not least, as Black Enterprise said it best, "if you don't know Dante Simpson, you need to."
