From hosting a workshop, freelancing, mentoring, chatting with investors, and tossing around a start-up idea with one of my own mentors – this week was a fun one! Of course, there were also a lot of great articles, so read on.
I was a little bit stressed out balancing my schedule this week, as context switching can be a lot. A few weeks ago, I was asked to host a workshop for HR and recruiting professionals on B2B marketing basics to help them better understand marketers during the hiring process, and this week was the week. Prepping the presentation took a bit of time, but I was pleasantly surprised that this one went smoothly. The rest of my time was split between freelance, interviewing, and mentoring.
As for this week’s reads, they’re all around marketing and business strategies. Some new, but mostly older stuff, but all still relevant.
