Currently work in accounting. Have been here for about 3 years. I make enough to live on my own and work most of the day alone. My degree is in marketing. Would it be financially irresponsible to switch over to marketing? Anyone in marketing say they find their job fulfilling?

I work in marketing and really enjoy my job most of the time. There's lots of different kinds of marketing though and it can be hard to find a decent-paying role.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

I don’t know weather we should charge on the higher spectrum because of our experience or lower because of our business infancy.
