The 100 Guy

Launching my agency, selling it to younger firm

by The 100 Companies
In this fifth excerpt of the humorous memoir: "Headscape: how a bald guy replanted his hair and restarted his life," the author sets up selling his agency to another firm that was primarily interested in my young team – not him. At Top Golf, above, with agency partner Sarah Weston, right.

After leaving newspapers, I started an agency serving developers, architects, financial, and legal clients, leading it for nearly two decades. Business development meant attending weekly networking events.

Over time, I added a team, landing on a formula of hiring bright young female graduates of college PR programs. It wasn’t that I chose to hire women – it was that PR programs graduated many women and relatively few men.

I promoted one woman to be partner and we’d attend networking events together. I noticed the younger generation gravitated to talking with her. And the older guys weren’t unhappy about that choice either.
