CEO students had the opportunity to hear from William Zimmermann, CEO/Owner of Moon Coil Media, a premier PR & artist management agency representing artists across goth, industrial, darkwave, post-punk, synthpop, and more.
William challenged our students to rethink a word that often gets a bad reputation:

๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐‘ซ๐‘ฐ๐‘บ๐‘น๐‘ผ๐‘ท๐‘ป๐‘ฐ๐‘ถ๐‘ต

William shared his journey of walking away from a traditional career path to stay true to his valuesโ€”taking a leap of faith to turn his side hustle into a full-time business. A powerful reminder that sometimes the biggest risks lead to the most authentic success.

Key takeaways that resonated:
โšก Disruption can be a catalyst for growth
โšก Stay true to your valuesโ€”even when itโ€™s difficult
โšก The right systems matterโ€”CRM tools, media planning, time management, and task prioritization all drive success
โšก Never stop learningโ€”books and continued education are game changers

We also loved that William shared impactful reads from his entrepreneurial journeyโ€”and even gifted a copy of The E-Myth by Michael Gerber to one lucky student! ๐Ÿ“š

William, thank you for your transparency, your tools, your perspectiveโ€”and of course, the donuts! ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿ‘
