🚀 MTC Season Premiere: Can ChatGPT Give Good Career Advice for Entry-Level Creatives? 🤔 | With Rob Johnston

Hey everyone, welcome back to Meet the Creatives! I’m Rob, and after a bit of a break, we’re back in action. Today, I’m keeping it real and breaking down five pieces of career advice for entry-level creatives—straight from ChatGPT. Some of it’s solid, some of it’s questionable, and some of it makes me wonder if AI is coming for our jobs (spoiler: it’s not). Plus, I’m sharing personal stories, networking fails, and why deleting TikTok might’ve been a huge mistake. Let’s get into it! What’s in This Episode? Why networking is really just making friends (and why that’s better). The right way (and the absolute wrong way) to slide into someone’s DMs. Why hyping up others can help your career—but don’t be that person. How showing up at creative events changed my career (and can change yours too). The importance of following up without being weird or pushy. Life updates—fatherhood, getting back into the creative scene, and the TikTok saga. Key Takeaways: ✅ Connections help, but if you’re not good at your job, you’ll get exposed. ✅ Never, ever say, "Can I pick your brain?"—trust me. ✅ Support other creatives and they’ll support you back. ✅ Go to industry events, introduce yourself, and act like you belong. ✅ Follow up naturally—no pressure, no awkward sales pitches. Let’s Connect! If you found this episode helpful, let me know! I always appreciate hearing from you.
