Switching Industries Later in Life and Different Ways We Communicate

In this episode, we talk about getting into the PR, Communications and Marketing industry after 30 years old and why coming into the profession later on in your career has its merits. 

 

For our 5 minutes, we talk about how to communicate statistics and complex data. We explore why storytelling is important, the role television has played and why sometimes news jacking is a good idea when you have the data.
