What does it take to walk away from a successful career to build one that aligns with your passion and future? In this episode, Emmy-winning journalist Lindsey Mastis shares her journey of leaving a 20-year career in tv news, to create an independent reporting career focused on AI and emerging technology.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make a bold mid-career pivot, this conversation is packed with insights on courage, reinvention, and staying relevant in a rapidly changing world. Lindsey opens up about making her final contract decision, handling the emotional aftermath with family and colleagues, and redefining success around health, purpose, and learning.
You’ll also hear how Lindsey is navigating the intersection of journalism and AI—from using AI tools ethically to creating her new documentary-style project, “Is AI Ruining Music?”, featuring voices like Rosanne Cash, Jackson Browne, and DJCherishtheLuv. Together, we explore how to stay human in an increasingly digital world and why embracing discomfort can fuel your next chapter.
