How Mid-Career Marketers Use a Personal Board of Advisors

Episode 100: Lucas and Luna explore why the most successful mid-career marketers don't navigate their careers alone. Instead of relying on a single mentor, they assemble a personal board of advisors — a small group of trusted peers, former managers, and industry outsiders who provide candid feedback, strategic introductions, and accountability. Lucas breaks down the concrete steps: how to identify the right 4-5 people, how to structure a quarterly check-in that respects everyone's time, and what to ask for (and what not to ask for). Luna shares a real example of a marketing director who used her board to decide between a Chief Marketing Officer role and a startup VP position. The hosts also discuss the common mistake of making the board too senior or too homogeneous, and why the best advisors often come from adjacent functions like product or sales. If you've ever felt stuck between jobs or unsure whether to take a promotion, this episode gives you a practical framework for building your own decision-making council. #PersonalBoardOfAdvisors #MarketingCareer #MidCareerMarketers #CareerGrowth #Mentorship #CareerAdvice #MarketingStrategy #ProfessionalNetwork #CareerDecisions #MarketingLeadership #AccountabilityGroup #ExecutiveCouncil #CareerMentors #MarketingPodcast #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #CareerDevelopment #MarketingJobs Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
