E132 Amy Widdowson: Everyone has a story worth telling

In nearly two decades in the communications field,Amy Widdowson has guided organizations through inflection moments and critical public relations challenges, with work across executive visibility, messaging and storytelling, thought leadership, and crisis management. Prior to her role as VP Communications at Medium, she spent over ten years agency-side in both corporate and public affairs leadership capacities, where she developed strategies for organizations in the technology, consumer goods, and professional services sectors.We talk about this more in the pod but everyone should be writing about their jobs on the Internet (Medium, obviously) because we all have so much to share. Amy wrote a piece called 'Blogging About Your Job For Fun And (Emotional) Profit.' where she goes into how to do it in a way that is actually interesting and helpful. She has also been writing a newsletter on tech, policy, and media (The Morning Missive), where you can find her ranting about everything from housing policy to boneheaded PR stunts.
