In your honest opinions, when do YOU actually take a creator seriously/ have respect for a creator? (can be an influencer/ UGC creator/ Tiktoker/ Youtuber/ Twitcher etc.)

Is it by the amount of followers, engagement rate, their professionalism from onboarding to off boarding, our personal opinion of their content, or?

I’m keen to know what is it that you do (if you’re in marketing/ social media or corporate) and your thoughts.

Thank you! :)

How do you handle mom guilt? I feel like my 1 year old spends more time with a babysitter than he does me and whenever I'm off work I feel like I should spend every possible mintue with him. I don't feel like I can go anywhere with friends or family because those are precious moments I could be spending with my him. When I do convince myself that it may do me some good to do something fun all I think about is him and how I should be spending time with him.

Yesterday my younger brother called me looking for good hidden swimming spots in the mountains. He was up there with a bunch of friends and their original plans had fallen apart hard. And I go much more often than he does.

I told him I had map pins that are EXACTLY what you need for these hard to find places. I can send them in 10 mins when I get home.

Reply? Forget it, I'm all set.

Yep, 10 mins is too long. Here I was expecting "Wow! That's fantastic!" How silly of me.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...
