On this episode of The Native Experience Podcast, we welcome Mike Todd, Senior Advisor of Consumer Products with Dearin & Associates.
In our conversation, we explore two radically different professions that Mike has had in his life: selling washing machines and working on nuclear submarines. Mike shares how selling washing machines became an analogy for good customer service and taught him to understand consumer wants and needs.
Mike regails his experiences working on a submarine and reflects on how the routine and discipline required for the role has made him into the man he is today. Make also emphasizes the importance of connection, explaining that taking a few minutes to genuinely ask someone how they are and listen to their response can have a profound impact on both parties involved.
Mike has led a fascinating life filled with incredible stories. It’s his ability to learn and adapt from both his wins and his mistakes that enables him to create and empower truly native experiences.
