The Dov Barron Show – Marion Abrams: Questioning Assumptions

Remember when people were famous for doing something? Remember the days before the Kardashians or Paris Hilton? Back then, there were PR companies and agents. Those people still exist, but now, particularly with social media, you and I can create our own public persona.

Let me put a radical idea forward. What if “everyman/woman/person” aims to genuinely make a positive impact?

On our never-ending quest to Crack the Curiosity Code, Marion Abrams is our guest for the next three episodes. Marion started her film career on PBS specials and NOVA episodes in New York. Her passion was for the outdoors, specializing in shooting and editing action sports like skiing, snowboarding, running, and mountain biking for network broadcasts and commercials airing on PBS, NBC, CBS, ESPN, History Channel, Oxygen, and Spike TV.

Today, she has taken all that experience and expertise and has become one of the world’s top podcasting coaches & consultants. She co-created Spartan Race’s official podcast, boasting over 35 million views & downloads. Marion has worked on a range of projects from social media advisor on a gubernatorial campaign, to creating the documentary film, “Flood Bound,“ to directing TV ads for Vermont Lottery.

On her podcast, “Grounded Content,” which I was honored to be a guest expert on, she explores what drives customer actions and where the lines are between persuasion and manipulation. Marion is a podcasting coach & consultant helping thought leaders, business leaders, and podcast hosts to design and elevate their podcast presence.
