5N30 S3 Ep 1: How Not to Be a Jerk with Gayle Seminara Mandel, Ed Rogers, and Matt Talbot

Back and better than ever, Great Guns USA and LBB are kicking off a new season of 5N30, the panel series celebrating the industry’s creative spirit - and the personalities that keep it moving forward. Talking ‘anything but advertising’, this week’s panel touches on everything from why ‘no’ is a positive word, to the value of staying in the present.

Joining Great Guns USA’s MD Oliver Fuselier and LBB’s North American editor Addison Capper are Gayle Seminara Mandel, executive director of New York Festivals, Ed Rogers, managing partner of Alto NY, and Matt Talbot, CCO of WorkInProgress.

This week, our panellists discuss their ideal dinner party guests, their most difficult decisions, their go-to relaxation locations, the impact of the pandemic on the way they operate, and the key attributes they look out for in potential employees. As a bonus, they reveal what makes them stand out from the crowd.

Tune in to hear about the enduring legacy of Ed’s great great grandfather’s mistress, how Matt’s love of cooking got him into hot water at an interview, and why Gayle likens herself to a town crier…
