Youngbloods Lessons in Hindsight

A series of podcasts brought to you by Youngbloods Australia. Advice from the big dogs on how to be a little dog.

ABOUT

Ever look at industry seniors and think, ‘wow, they know so much stuff.’ Ever think, ‘gee, I know not much stuff at all’?

Well, once upon a time, in a land not too different from this one, our industry’s most brilliant minds knew nothing at all. They’re human, and we’ll prove it to you. They’re here, open and candid, to tell us what they wish they knew when they were small, what they’ve learnt getting to where they are, and all their wisest words on how you can get there too.

Brought to you by Youngbloods Australia, empowering young people to kill it in the ad world.
