Many days I get hit with pretty bad existential crisis thinking my time on earth is limited and I might not leave anything meaningful. On top of that I’m spending 80% of my time tying out spreadsheets. I honestly don’t know if anything I’ll ever do will make me feel better of my fleeting existence in the grand scheme of the universe.

Literally the reason why I quit PwC. I can honestly say I’m enjoying my life a lot more since I left a couple years ago. You should think about what is important you/ what you value in your life! And then make your decisions based on that. I made this reflection as I was traveling to my client site out of state and that’s when I decided I needed to quit haha.

This is me, every day. I want to do something more meaningful in my life than testing controls all day, but also like the “stability” of my current life.

Fishies, I am hiring a partner in crime to help me introduce PETERMAYER to the national stage. This isn't your typical biz dev role - it's designed to be a hybrid/cross-discipline role for someone who wants to use their full creative, strategic brain and most definitely NOT stay in their lane. Know anyone that sounds like that, send them my way! (Agency is full-time flex/hybrid, but a desire to be NOLA-based is strongly preferred; however remote may be negotiable.)

I am wondering if I can see what other brands say to influencers that they reject? In the program we use we either approve them or reject them. Once they are rejected they get an email saying that they are. I have tried googling a good nice way to reject an influencer but all I get is how an influencer should reject a brand. Not a brand rejecting an influencer. We don’t want to be rude & would like to keep the door open for future collabs if they meet our standards in the future.
