Who's read Juicing the Orange? Did you find it genuinely helpful in improving your creative process, or is it more of a self-congratulatory showcase of Fallon's work? I'm trying to find out if it provides actionable techniques for generating innovative ideas or if it's just a collection of anecdotes. Thoughts?

I personally think any book is only as good as the reader. Even the least insightful book can spark ideas in a fresh mind. That being said, if you're looking for skills in idea generation and understanding the principles behind successful advertising, it’s definitely worth a read. It's a valuable resource for creatives, especially considering its focus on the creative process and the importance of storytelling.

Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?
