Some of you may have noticed that each day at noon Pacific, we’ve been taking to Twitter/Periscope to have conversations with people in the industry. There isn’t a whole lot of structure around the discussions with features like fancy packaging or, if we’re being honest, shaving.
But, the point is that we want to find out how people are managing life as COVID-19 continues to march its way around the globe. We also want to dig into some advice that we hope is useful to everyone. Plus, you get to see my collection of hats and perhaps an anecdote or two (like the time I brushed my teeth with the dog’s toothpaste one morning).
Below are the guests that we have had so far. Each person has brought his or her perspective to the world and given some truly useful information.
The good news is that you can run these in the background to listen. There’s no real reason to be staring at my ugly mug the whole time.
And if you’re interested in joining us, hit up our DMs or email agencyspymail@protonmail.com.
