17. CHRIS TUFF - Merging Your Passion with Your Purpose

All The Best with John Chisum

Christopher Tuff started his career as one of the first marketers to focus on helping startups, including Facebook in 2005. Since then, he’s become a sought-after leader in the digital marketing space, having been featured on the front of the Wall Street Journal, in Fast Company, and consistently in advertising trade production features, including Adage and Advertising Weekly.

Tuff’s natural ability to connect with his nearly 80% millennial and Gen Z workforce led him to publish the national bestselling The Millennial Whisperer in 2018. A global movement soon followed as Tuff shared lessons on empathy and genuine connection at work on some of the largest stages in the world including such Fortune 100 companies as Nike. Chris highlights how to build a corporate culture in which Millennials can thrive and how to identify, train, and empower leaders to get the most out of Millennials at their companies.

In this conversation with John Chisum, Tuff shares how you can turn your passion into your purpose for greater meaning and personal fulfillment.
