You are returning to ‘advertising’ 10 years after exiting Dentsu. How are you approaching the new inning? This time around, I go into advertising with no pressure and no expectations. In my first 25 years in the advertising business, my driving motivation always was, “You miss 100% of the shots you do not take”. Every pitch had to be won, and every ounce of energy had to be expended to ensure that I would come out on top. Every single time. This time around I have decided to be selective and to be less driven. The idea is to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
