1seventh the Podcast
Buckle up for 1seventh the podcast where the leadership team from Brandartica (Peter Jude Ricciardi and Jeff Litcofsky) grill CEOs, Founders, Brand Presidents, and Non-Human Intelligences on how they’ve defied the norm to conquer both business and life. In bite-sized episodes lasting just 15-20 minutes, we dive headfirst into the chaotic minds of successful mavericks, extracting lessons, risks, and insights that scream “unconventional.” We are going into deep water waters, and occasionally some psychologically shallow shoals to extract insights, lessons, and experiences that drive brand success. 1seventh, where the unexpected is just the beginning.
“The mind is like an iceberg; it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water.”
– Sigmund Freud
