Podcast: Mitch Joel on Following The Muse

AC Podcast A few months ago, I heard Mitch Joel in conversation with Seth Godin on the podcast Six Pixels of Separation, and I knew I had to have him back on to chat about careers, fear, failure, and building a body of work that is substantive. Mitch is president of Mirum, a global digital marketing agency, and author of the book [amazon_link id=”1455523305″ target=”_blank” ]Ctrl Alt Delete[/amazon_link]. We talk about career paths, embracing the “squiggle”, and the line between following your muse and being flighty.

I set out to be a jazz singer and now I compose music for film and video games. I don’t miss performing at all! Part of my very squiggley journey was figuring out that I didn’t really enjoy performing but still loved music, especially writing it.

Mr Todd Henry and Mr Mitch,

Thanks a lot for this powerful message to follow our true desires.

It’s a really a freedom message, to build what will succeed in our lives, to build our success, our next steps, with confidence that we are following our true path.
For sure, we need to take a breath before the first step, and think, but let’s build that now!

Best Regards,
