I've always loved the Breaking & Entering guys for what they do and it's great to root them and see their company thrive, but the lack of diversity on their "Must Hire List" feels counter productive to their whole mission of helping people break into the industry.

It's basically like all white people, and now I'm seeing them as an exact representation of the gate keepy/pay-to-play industry that has made it hard to break into in the first place

They’re mission should be to help people break OUT of this industry

likefunnyuplifting

Why? This industry can be great for the people who want it.

I really couldn’t care less what color someone is. Be good at what you do, it’s as simple as that. No one should be propped up based on the color of their skin and especially not for the sake of diversity.

If the list is all white people, I don’t care. If it’s all black people, I don’t care. If it’s all Asian people, I don’t care. Just give me your best.

everything they do is bought and paid for. it’s not a media company it’s a mouthpiece. worse then a trade pub - an public relations organ.

B&E has monetized ad industry leaders' compulsive need to have their egos stroked. They cosplay as trade news but in reality are just a mouthpiece for any and all agencies willing to pay them. They have no industry experience but are out here telling people what are the best campaigns, the best agencies and the best creatives to watch. It's a grift that only our industry would fall for. Tbh good on them for this daylight robbery.

That is the advertising industry. A gated white community with a few token minorities peppered in here and there.

Are both of those guys from the agency world?

By conservative estimates of the podcast alone, they’ve interviewed over 500 of the industry’s top talent in the last 6 years. So yeah they are better at networking than most.

It's a seemingly random list and I have no clue how they compiled it. I'm sure there are some talented people on there but they didn't even really list anybody from top ad programs IMO.

The entrepreneurial spirit will never disappear; I've always been waiting for someone to kick down my door and start a business together.

I filed my tax with TurboTax. It said my estimated refund is $700. I got a letter from IRS saying I actually owe $400. When I looked into it I realized they didn’t account for my 2021 quarterly estimates that I paid with my ex-wife last year. In our divorce decree we agreed to claim half of the credits each. But I guess for their record it’s all under her name. It’s impossible to reach IRS and also I really want to avoid contacting my ex. What would be the best approach for this?
