Marketing Today With Alan Hart

Richard Socarides has been around the block: A partner with a New York City law firm. A White House special assistant during the Clinton administration, concentrating on civil rights, LGBT rights, criminal justice, and education. Media communications and marketing for Time Warner Inc., including a stint at New Line Cinema. And now, head of public affairs — which includes global marketing, communications, and government affairs — for GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group), a company that Socarides describes as a “learning membership connecting businesspeople trying to solve problems to experts that can solve them.”In the podcast, Socarides expounds upon learning: “We're helping businesses make money, become more profitable, and connect with clients, but…at the core of what we do is learning. If you're a senior professional today, you know that the era of lifelong learning is really upon us. That what you knew last year, or two years or three years ago, about doing your job is obsolete.
