John and Matt have the opportunity to speak with Drew Johnson, Director of Strategic Communications at Octagon. Supporting and guiding some of the greatest American Olympic athletes of all time, Drew has a unique perspective on the changing media landscape. He and his team work with their clients throughout their entire career and beyond, helping each athlete take steps to be successful past their likely one opportunity for victory at the Olympics.
