John Harris is CEO and President of Worldwide Partners. Worldwide Partners is a network of 72 independent agencies in 40 countries. It has existed since 1938. One thing that makes Worldwide Partners interesting is that the agencies own the network - the network doesn’t own the agencies. John helps make it work and, insodoing, he has great insight into the minds, needs, and trends of the independent agency.

We discuss:
- CEO and President - What exactly are these roles?
- How an independent network works
- The psychology of people who run independent agencies
- Why people set up agencies
- Trends with new independent agencies
