Embracing Difficulty: What Storytelling Taught a U.S. Army Veteran Turned Marketer

  1. Embracing Difficulty: What Storytelling Taught a U.S. Army Veteran Turned Marketer Paul Furiga 29:47

In this episode of Storylines Live, we’re honored to feature Perry Rearick, podcast host and former senior director of publishing at Life Science Connect. Perry is a U.S. Army veteran with a career that spanned more than 28 years, serving in roles from the Middle East to the Pentagon. Perry established Mungadai Consulting, an agency that helps develop and execute content marketing strategies for a variety of B2B and B2C businesses, in large part because of what he learned about the power of storytelling in his many challenging government roles. He discusses his career path, including the critical military lesson to embrace and seek out difficulty, and his later experience as a public affairs officer and working in the Pentagon. Perry explains how Life Science Connect helps innovators in the fragmented life sciences landscape, who need strategic partners to advance drug therapies, connect with solution providers through a series of digital communities.
