Episode notes
Be Proactive And Explain Your Thinking To Become An A Player
- A players proactively find and solve the next problem and think in decades rather than seeking immediate wins.
- To stand out, deliver a paid test project and clearly articulate your thinking behind the work.
Build A Content Lake With Platform Owners
- Treat content as a lake of assets rather than a waterfall; platform owners pull what their channel needs.
- Assign one owner per platform (bundle similar platforms) to choose content by platform-specific demand and timing.
Slow Down To Go Faster With An 8–10 Week Pipeline
- Stretch production into an 8–10 week pipeline with scripted weeks: ideation, scripting, shoot, edit, review, and maintain two approved videos in the bank.
- This buffer prevents last-minute scrambles and sustains posting frequency and team sanity.
