As a young person who’s navigating their career, it can be frustrating when you see others who are your age or even younger whose careers are just flying off. Someone else’s success is not your failure. We all have different timing for our dreams and goals to be accomplished. While we’re in that middle area of getting to the next level, it’s always nice to hear from peers who are sitting at those tables and doing the things you want to do. The truth is age has nothing to do with when you’ll advance and these various leaders in the fields of marketing, media and tech are here to inspire and encourage you with their stories of how they did it and are continuing to break the barriers for young people in their fields.

Introducing Young Influentials, a new series hosted by Adweek digital editor Colin Daniels. Tune in each week as Colin sits down with various change-makers who are doing incredible things in their industry and pulling the curtain back on their road to success as they share their story and what they’ve been up to in their current roles. Now you’ll be able to put a face to the people who are behind some of your favorite products, shows, and technology that you are using every day.
