Why Some People Pursue Mediocrity plus Strategist Support (9 Listener Questions Answered)


Listen Later

In this episode, we discuss mediocrity and why some people need it plus I answer nine questions while walking through New York City.
The questions include:
1. What can I do when I feel a lack of interest cause every project looks the same?
2. How to approach building a team for the first time
3. Why are we moving backwards as a country?
4. Are the traditional strategy-creative roles in agencies relevant in the fast-paced digital marketing era?
5. Does the agency world over index with neuro-atypical peeps (spectrum, sociopaths, etc)?
6. I’m frustrated by how the person I report to hardly gives a shit about planning and knows less.
7. What’s the value of strategy?
8. How do you deal with a strategist above yo who won’t get out of your way?
9. Do you know of any good practices or exercises I could use to "derive insights from data"?
