Remix: Album 4 Track 5: Shooting For the Top with Dan Fachner

Album 4 Track 5 – Dan Fachner, President & CEO at J&J Snack Foods Corp (ICEE, Super Pretzel, Whole Fruit, Dogster, etc.)

Hey Brand Nerds! We have a special guest in our virtual house today, one-of-a-kind President and CEO Dan Fachner.

Dan is our first guest who has been with one company throughout his entire career. He joins us with golden nuggets of knowledge that he's learned from his starting days as a service technician all the way through to becoming President and CEO. 

A client of BPD who has turned into a great friend of the partners, and when you listen to today's show you'll understand why/how. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Listening will take you farther than speaking - if you do both right.
• Lead with curiosity in your work, to not only see the things others can't but also to see things differently to inspire innovation in your brand
• Are you operating in your career with intentionality? 
• It's important to make sure you're confidential when you need to be...and not leave your potential client a voicemail with your behind-the-scenes negotiation tactics (yikes - definitely a story you don't want to miss)
