Like any good millennial, I’ve long had struggles with my career. The primary one, of course, being how successful I am versus how successful I think I’m supposed to be based on the most successful people I know. It’s not a good way to think about things, but it’s only natural. In many ways, I’ve had a perfectly good career as a copywriter. I’ve done work for big brands and I’ve earned a pretty good living. But I’ve never won the big awards or been featured in the press. I haven’t worked on big budget projects. I’ve had plenty of ideas I thought would be awesome that I could never quite sell. I also once made a pretty big strategic career mistake moving from a prestigious international agency to a small local one after misreading some signs. So, at various points in the last ten years I’ve felt like I had screwed everything up. Those weren’t entirely rational thoughts, but hey, it’s hard to be rational about yourself. Fortunately, wherever you think you are isn’t the end of the road. I’ve been smart enough to keep going and lucky enough to have friends who’ve given me the chance to prove myself wrong. The other week I was given my biggest chance yet with the task of writing a manifesto for A’Ja Wilson’s 4th WNBA MVP. I’m happy to say that I didn’t blow it.
This is so sick!!! Good stuff bud!
Who does this David Azreal think he is!! Damn, dawg.
