Episode 2.3 - Liz Taylor
Q: How do you balance the realities of industry disruption with staying true to creative principles?
She emphasizes focusing on what she can control—developing people, solving client problems through creativity, and maintaining trust with clients—while embracing tools like AI as aids rather than replacements, and prioritizing core ideas over trends.
Episode 2.3 - Liz Taylor
Q: What do you consider your three core assets, and when did you realize them?
Her three core assets are problem solving, resilience, and storytelling. She describes recognizing them during her rise in advertising, especially as she navigated early rejection and learned to persist, iterate, and craft compelling narratives.
Episode 1.10 - Fran Camaj
Q: Did you feel like you needed to bring on the New York space in order to really keep growing and keep the business alive?
No, it was more about loving the neighborhood and wanting to create something there.
Episode 1.10 - Fran Camaj
Q: What was your biggest hurdle to just moving from doing this bundle of what you were doing to starting Gjelina?
The biggest hurdle was learning the processes independently without a mentor, particularly the building and permitting processes.
Episode 1.9 - Javier Peral
Q: Did you ever feel like an imposter at all?
Yes, sometimes I felt unsure about my place in the industry, as it's quite fickle and competitive.
