Listen Later

Seth and Mallory reflect on the career-defining moments that have shaped their journeys. From Seth’s unexpected leap into TV production to Mallory’s early adoption of social media strategy, they share the pivotal decisions and lucky breaks that have driven their professional growth. Listen in for candid stories and valuable lessons on how to recognize and seize opportunities that could transform your career.

Key Takeaways:
  • Hard Work Pays Off: Seth's first career-defining moment highlights the value of work ethic over initial skill. Sometimes, showing up and taking on what others won't can lead to big opportunities.
  • Make Your Own Luck: Mallory turned an early opportunity in social media into a career shift by proactively presenting her vision to leadership. Creating your own luck is about recognizing potential and acting on it.
  • Build Your Own Platform: Seth's creation of Higher Ed Live was driven by a desire to demonstrate competence and connect with industry leaders. Building your own platform can open doors to new opportunities and lasting relationships.
  • Leverage Educational Credentials: Mallory's strategic pursuit of a master's degree helped her transition into higher-level roles with increased responsibilities and compensation. It's about aligning education with long-term career goals.
  • Say Yes to New Challenges: Seth's decision to pitch against an external agency led to the creation of SNHU’s in-house agency and long-lasting career impact. Don’t hesitate to take on challenges outside your comfort zone.
  • Take the Leap: Seth’s decision to launch Kanahoma in the midst of uncertainty demonstrates the importance of following your passion and trusting your ability to build something meaningful.
