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"?
