We reflected on the past year during the pandemic and how important empathy from organizations is, and that we've both been fortunate enough to experience through the leaders we work for.
As someone working at HubSpot, a company with one of the most hype marketing conferences ever (Inbound), he had a first-hand look at what taking that online could mean. As things continue to evolve as a result of the pandemic, Justin predicts that there will be a great deal of popularity around hybrid events. Why? Well, the reach. Of course, nothing is quite like being in person at a conference, but they were able to give access to so many more people through going virtual for Inbound, and he thinks it's something that could be a permanent fixture.
Justin is a big believer in chasing real world experiences before deciding to enrol in an MBA. It's not that he doesn't believe in the value the Master's program can bring, but he does believe that the experience you gain in the field is invaluable for understanding what you do and don't want to be doing when you enter the business world.
He urges folks to remember that your career path doesn't have to be linear (as someone who used to want to climb the standard marketing ladder towards CMO). Being open to opportunities will expose you to so many different skills, people, and additional opportunities as you continue to go outside of your comfort zone.
