JAMIE MARKLEY (AS DESCRIBED BY DAVID VAN CAMP) Jamie Markley is one of the most unique people I’ve ever met in this business. He looks at, and breaks down, topics in a way that no one else in media does: like the average person. That’s not to say he doesn’t know what he’s talking about; it’s to say he is able to take complex topics and drill down to the heart of every topic, and approach it in a way that gets me thinking about it differently. He’s also a walking music encyclopedia, who’s not afraid to drop random facts at a moment’s notice. Like, did you know Tom Petty didn’t want to record the song “I Won’t Back Down,” because he thought it was “too obvious?” I learned that during a conversation with him about tax reform (Did I mention he suffers from ADHD?).
