An interview with Devin McGovern, reality TV producer and former showrunner of BAR RESCUE, about his transition to content creation as "Devin the Dad."

AI is top of everyone’s minds these days. There’s so much conflicting, purposefully confusing, and overwhelming information out there, so we want to break down what we’re seeing and answer some of the most common questions we hear on the subject.

A lot of job seekers — especially in a competitive market, and especially those making a big transition to another type of role or sector — worry “why would they ever hire me?” It’s natural to look around and compare yourself to others. Here's how to combat imposter syndrome.

It’s easy to get lost in a job search, especially when there are so many moving pieces: getting your resume into shape, finding open listings, networking…not to mention actually figuring out what you want to do! Having an accountability system is so important to make sure you spend your time on the right efforts to make forward progress.

We interviewed Erin Keating, co-founder of the Broad Collective and former development executive (Snapchat, IFC) about career invention and transitioning from entertainment to entrepreneurship.

Overall stability is the wrong thing to look for when you’re thinking about your next role. Instead, break down what specific elements of stability matter to you and what instability you are willing to live with and do a cost-benefit analysis of the paths and roles you’re considering.

It’s harder than ever to land a job just by hitting apply off a job board. It’s also lonelier than ever, with job searches taking longer, AI steamrolling most of the process, and for many, the grief of an entertainment landscape that isn’t the one we dreamed about. Learning how to ask for help is the single most important thing you can do in your job search.

One of the biggest complaints we hear from job seekers is that they know networking is critical to their success, but their network is tapped out and unhelpful. Their contacts say they will help and nothing materializes. No one they know knows anyone else they can introduce them to. It’s all fruitless. But there’s more to the story here, and more often than not, job seekers get trapped in negative self-talk and circular thinking. Here are some things to reconsider as you network.

Whether you’re trying to grow your network, learn about potential roles at companies of interest, identify a new business lead, hire an employee or consultant, or find a referral for a job opening, going down the rabbit hole of LinkedIn search can be really useful, if you know how to use it.

This week, we sat down with Jesse Krim, the founder of JAK Media Group through which she consults with creators and brands as a YouTube Creative Director. She is also the founder of The Industry Shift, a curated networking event connecting traditional TV professionals with creators and YouTube insiders to shape the future of media.

Layoffs bring a wave of emotions to those who are directly impacted, different emotions to the people who stay in their roles, and a third set of emotions to those who’ve been in the market for a new job (especially those who are unemployed). What steps can you take if you’ve been laid off, if you anticipate being laid off soon, or if you want to help those who have been laid off.

Once upon a time, there was a ladder. You started as an assistant - either PA, in a crew department, or on a desk - and you worked your way up in a straightforward way. Whatever your ladder was (PA → Production Coordinator → UPM; Assistant to Lit Agent → Assistant to Studio Comedy VP → Coordinator, Comedy Development → Creative Executive; Writers’ PA → Writers’ Assistant → Script Coordinator → Staff Writer), you could see how one role would lead to another and focus your job applications on growth. But growth looks different now.
