I spent entirely too many years giving this job my time, attention, and frankly, by the end, it felt like I’d sold my soul to the highest bidder just to validate using my education and “making a difference.” What that difference is now? I truly don’t know. Did I ever make a difference? I thought I did at one point, but once the agency began to evolve and change just for the sake of change, not discernible progress with proven positive results, I knew that any good had been undone.

So sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s hard to look back over your time at a place and leave with so many questions. If you did the work to make a difference, chances are you DID even if you don’t realize. 🙏

Wishing you the best in your future career endeavors. May you be refreshed, energized, and in a place where your effort can be recognized and felt.

I'm sure that you did make a difference. The thing about these companies is that they don't care about their employees. They will burn you out and not even think twice about it.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Please help! I'm looking for writing terminology. At our agency, we are getting more into creative writing vs ... executional writing? Please help me find the right term. Creative means developing the big idea (concepting), writing scripts and headlines with flair, etc.) for an awareness "hook" and then the other camp, which includes brochures, one pagers, banner ads, sales sheets.

What should we call the other type of writing? (Cont in comments)
