You’re wrong sr

As someone with kids, I totally get it. I found kids super boring to hear about until I had my own. I try to remember that no one cares about your kids except you and family when I talk to people (because you’re literally, biologically in love with your kids).

Same. As a general rule I just don't bring them up unless someone specifically asks or wants to see pictures

Simple. Have a few over your own and immediately start one upping them by talking about yours even more.

Talking about people’s kids is on par with other riveting subject matter such as veganism, CrossFit workouts, and fantasy football teams.

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
