Steve Cody is a climber, comedian and dog lover, but not necessarily in that order. He also happens to be co-founder and CEO of Peppercomm, a strategic communications firm headquartered in NYC, and with offices in San Francisco, Boulder and London. Steve bangs out two columns each week for Inc.com, publishes a daily and has had the opportunity to appear on CNBC, MSNBC, NPR, and a host of other top tier media over the years. One final thing: Steve derives immense satisfaction from mentoring college students and counseling fellow marketing communications professionals who have lost their way in life.
