<p>Good evening internet! Please welcome James Andrews, <a href="http://twitter.com/keyinfluencer" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Key Influencer</a>. James is the host of the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-key-influencer-show/id951208248?mt=2&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Key Influencer Podcast</a>, a public relations expert who has ridden the wave of change with the advent of social media. In 2013, James sold his boutique agency Social People where we had created the 1st Social Media Guinness World Record #BeatCancer which raised $70,000 for cancer in 24 hours using social media and had built social media &amp; data analytics initiatives for clients like Nike, Equinox, The Grammy's &amp; Beats By Dre. In 2014, he got the "band back together" &amp; launched <a href="http://www.truestoryagency.co/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">True Story Agency</a>, a company centered around the belief that every brand has a storyline. James tells his stories of seeing the greatest industries rise and fall, from the record industry to the dotcom bubble into today. He shares with us that he is a self-professed freakazoid, risk junkie, and traveler, and we get some insight into the soon-to-come mayoral race in Atlanta.</p>
