During the podcast, Marino and Morelli will interview key individuals in the independent paper and board packaging space. Michael M. D’Angelo, AICC President, said “AICC members have so many compelling stories to share and with them lessons to embrace. The Independent experience is fascinating and relatable on so many levels. Breaking Down Boxes with Gene and Joe is the best way to share these stories. Listen anytime. There is something of value in each one.”
Marino and Morelli share an interest in leadership and understanding the story behind the successes and failures of those in the independent packaging space.
“AICC’s membership is full of people who have such powerful stories of growth, success and even failure,” said Morelli. “Gene and I have been fortunate over the years to hear first-hand what their experiences have been like and ultimately a lot of it has helped shape our own careers. We are both really excited to help share their valuable insight!”
