From Fast Company’s vast collection of informative and relevant videos comes:

Listening to your passionate employees can make all the difference (6 minutes) featuring Dawn Ostroff, chief content officer for Spotify and Jack Davis, cofounder of Crypt TV. (2018)

Also from that collection is this ‘Hit the Ground Running’ podcast episode featuring Jasmine Lawrence, founder of natural hair and body care line Eden BodyWorks. (July 27, 2021)

Could your side hustle become a second career? (35 minutes) Jasmine’s main message: Side hustlers should view themselves as followers of two career paths.

Here’s hoping you pick up a tip or mental shift that moves you forward.

A tip of the cap and a follow-up post to acknowledge Fast Company’s spurring innovation on many levels.

Some of these may have no relevance to you, but some may just land in your wheelhouse and correlate directly to your business.

And don’t discount the power of cross-pollinating ideas. Something that doesn’t speak directly to your audience might still spark an idea for problem-solving, marketing, or a new product.
