  • The Story Behind Out of Scope

    The Story Behind Out of Scope
    2025/11/19
    Welcome to Out of Scope! This is the episode that sets the tone for the whole show. In this solo kickoff, I talk about why I created this podcast and what I’ve learned since moving from agency life to an in-house role. The shift taught me a lot about how different the work feels when you don’t have a big creative department around you, and how important it is to stay connected to people who understand this industry on a deeper level. I also share why I started reaching out to creatives outside my immediate circle, what those conversations opened up for me, and how they helped me grow both as a creative and as a leader. This show is an extension of that. A place for real stories, honest insights, and the kind of perspective that only comes from people who have lived this work from the inside. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, curious, stuck, or simply in need of community, this episode is your starting point.

  • Finding Your Voice Early in Your Career: Meghan Butterfield

    Finding Your Voice Early in Your Career: Meghan Butterfield
    2025/11/19
    Finding your voice early in your career is harder than people admit, and today, Meghan Butterfield gets real about what it actually takes. Meghan is officially my graphic designer at Fjällräven, but in reality, she operates more like an art director: thoughtful, sharp, and unafraid to trust her instincts. In this conversation, she shares how she stumbled into advertising, the bold school project that accidentally landed her a job, what new business taught her about speed and pressure, and why authenticity matters more than polish on TikTok and in your career. We also talk about developing confidence when you’re new, how unexpected past jobs shape the skills you use today, finding mentors you actually trust, and why speaking up early matters more than you think. Whether you're just starting out or you have been in the game for a while, Meghan’s story is a reminder that your perspective matters and your voice deserves to be heard.

  • How to Build Long-Term Freelance Success: Everett Guess

    How to Build Long-Term Freelance Success: Everett Guess
    2025/12/03
    In this episode of Out of Scope, I sit down with my friend Everett Guess, one of the busiest and most consistently successful freelancers I’ve ever worked with. We met years ago at The Marketing Arm, where Everett was a permalancer while I was on staff, and even back then he was always booked, always in motion, and always building something. This conversation goes deeper than anything we’ve talked about before. Everett shares the mindset that has carried him through the ups and downs of freelancing, what it takes to build long-term career stability, and why relationships matter more than anything else in this industry. We also talk about slow seasons, confidence, growth, and the unexpected shifts that shape a creative career. Whether you’re freelance, full-time, or somewhere in between, this episode is full of practical insight and real talk. Connect with Everett:

  • Making Sense of the Job Market: Elisa Dibble

    Making Sense of the Job Market: Elisa Dibble
    2025/12/10
    This week, I’m joined by career coach Elisa Dibble, who brings a clear, grounded perspective to what’s actually happening in today’s job market.
We talk about layoffs, the chaos of disappearing job postings, why hiring timelines feel impossibly slow, how to position yourself clearly, and why using AI to write your résumé can quietly undermine your credibility. Elisa works with creatives, marketers, and advertising pros at every stage — people trying to level up in their current roles, people navigating layoffs, and people trying to make bold career pivots. Her experience in agency life, recruiting, and coaching gives her a rare 360-degree view of how hiring really works right now. Whether you’re job searching, thinking about making a move, or just trying to stay proactive in a weird market, this episode is packed with insight. You can find Elisa at elisathecoach.com, on LinkedIn, or on Instagram @elisathecoach Want to reach out? Email me at hello@outofscopepod.com.

  • How to Survive Burnout, Bad Bosses, and Still Love the Work: Jacque Marks

    How to Survive Burnout, Bad Bosses, and Still Love the Work: Jacque Marks
    2025/12/17
    In this week’s episode of Out of Scope, I sit down with Jacque Marks for one of the funniest (and most honest) conversations of the season, tracing her path from punk bands and art school to a long career in commercial real estate marketing. Jacque shares how early creative experiences shaped her work ethic, how some of her first jobs taught her more than any class ever could, and why navigating difficult personalities is an unavoidable part of building a career. Along the way, she recounts workplace stories that sound completely made up… except they’re very real. The conversation also digs into the less funny side of things, as Jacque opens up about burnout, workplace stress, and what happens when chaos crosses the line from entertaining to unsafe. She reflects on how those experiences changed the way she approaches work, boundaries, and leadership, and why leading with curiosity has helped her work successfully with people who don’t think like her.
