Episode 81: Taking a career leap with Carlos Musquez

Work sucks? Maybe it's not you. Maybe it's the model you're working in. Carlos Musquez came to this realization after 30+ years in the ad business. And he'd love it if you didn't have to wait so long. He invites you to ask a very simple question. When was the last time you were really proud of your work? And if the answer is, "it's been a minute," ask yourself why? It might be time for something new. For Carlos, that new thing is Old School—a creative collective that lives the values learned throughout his career. You can check out those values on his site. Some of my favorites: 🐱 Creativity is an Act of Defiance🐱 Risk is a Requirement🐱 Reject the Trend Trap🐱 Impact Over Optics I'd argue those values are a solid recipe for good living, not matter what you're doing. Good for life, good for advertising. A good foundation to start something new. Let the desuckifying begin. ————— You can follow Carlos on LinkedIn. And check out his site at oldschool-collective.com. It's full of inspiring goodness. If you enjoyed the conversation and would like to dive deep into some of your own challenges at work, I invite you to schedule a free half-hour discovery session, where we can explore new, desuckified possibilities for your future.
