I want to work for someone who inspires me. I know there’s friction around pressure to have side projects in this industry, but I tend to be most inspired by people who live and breathe creativity. Where should I be looking for my next, hopefully inspiring, job? Currently in Chicago.

I would agree with that. I think I’d also love someone to point me in the right direction as well. This is not to keep from doing my own homework. I’ve come across CDs who have inspired me from a distance only to be told by someone later they were super difficult to work with. A great artist does not a wonderful CD make. Finding the pearls in the sea of CDs won’t be easy.

Well I think in that vein then ask around to your network about who is cool. it’s hard to point to one agency cause there are definitely some teams within agencies that create more of an environment for good + inspiring people than others

I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help!

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
