Creator's Block #39 [Podcast]: How to Thrive When Change Happens

For long-time listeners of the Creator's Block podcast, you know it's been awhile since I've stepped into the recording studio to "pull back the curtain on inbound, content, design, and agency life" for all the digital marketers, creatives, and content creators out there. 

The podcast is still undergoing a bit of a virtual face lift, so we won't back on a regular basis for another few weeks.

In the interim, however, I've invited two guests to join me for a special edition of Creator's Block -- Kathleen Booth, our very own VP of Strategy, and Jessie-Lee Nichols, Marketing Manager at Link Labs.

Given the events of the past few months, we're dedicating this week's episode to the big, hairy (and often scary) elephant in the room... change. 

It doesn't matter what your job title is or how long you've been in the game, we all know that nothing stays the same forever. And even the most seasoned pros can stumble over unanticipated hurdles. Of course, sometimes those changes are welcome -- a new promotion, for example. But they aren't always. 

So, how do you go with the flow and not reach for the panic button when the unexpected happens? Tune into this episode of Creator's Block to find out.
