A source recently pointed out to me that for people who have a double-digit number of billions of dollars, economic crashes are great. Limited impact on their life, and they buy up assets at a discount.

I don't take well to the sales approach of dispatching a junior woman representative to events, having her hook me as a possible target, allowing her to invite me and her male executive boss to a call, sidelining her from speaking, and then hearing a half-baked pitch from the senior male executive.

I heard on a podcast this morning that some people are taking salaries up to 25 percent lower than they're eligible for in exchange for a remote job. Good for them. Tradeoffs to all examples and experiences. Find what suits you best and pursue it.

This whole owned media vs. earned media thing of the past few years is incredibly irritating. Put differently, the future of PR hinges on making the role a business value, not a brand exercise. Discussion of owned media allows better that conversation to take place - so frame it that way each time.

Part of what's going on is that people who who choose tech careers sign up for a different level of risk than people who choose government careers, so government workers now being exposed to tech-like career risk feels much more traumatic on a relative basis. Like putting your grandma into crypto.

This story doesn't square for me. Let me know what you think... A few months ago, an executive at a well-known PR agency met me and then sent me a dek, asking me if I hear of anyone looking to bring on an agency to send them his way. I reviewed the dek, which had two case studies included there...
