I'm new-ish to copywriting after working as news reporter and TV host for years.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response” -Viktor Frankl

What do you do when you make the wrong career choice?

Forgive yourself. No one is perfect. You are learning. Wrong choices are part of the learning process.

Ask for forgiveness if your choice negatively impacted another.

Work on recognizing the space between stimulus and response. Ask for help if you need it.

All of the above will help you make a better choice next time.

Dyslexia! After having our kindergartener son tested (privately) related to ADHD, we were told he may have dyslexia too (which would explain why he struggles so much with phonics but is amazing at sight words). He has a very high IQ. As a voracious reader, I am finding myself unexpectedly distraught that something that I have loved so much will be such a struggle for him, and worrying that it will affect his motivation and may steer him away from things he may otherwise love.

Problem solving; identifying a problem & figuring out a solution

Wondering if anyone has a good example of a brand that originally sold a commodity/mass food and successfully introduced a premium/luxury line, under the same brand name. Kicker is the brand has to have started as mass then gone upmarket, nor vice versa.
