A Magician Who's A Strategist - Or Is It...

Mark Pollard
About this episode

Mike Jacobson has worked in strategy for years. But he's been a magician for decades.


Not long ago, he appeared on America's Got Talent. That's how good he is.


In this episode, Mike breaks down the business of magic as well as how what he's learned from being a magician and strategist has helped both of his crafts, something he'll be teaching at our upcoming strategy conference The Sweathead Do-Together.
