What's the benefit of being the least knowledgeable person in a room? It exposes you to the greatest opportunities for learning in your career.
In this episode, Mason Cosby discusses the advantages of surrounding yourself with a diverse range of networks, which can eventually lead to finding your tribe. He also recommends intentionally building a network on LinkedIn by sending out connection requests to targeted accounts and writing one's own obituary to live life in a way that aligns with career goals.
Mason started as an account executive at a parenting magazine in Mississippi before transforming into a marketing director for a FinTech company in the B2B tech SaaS space. He emphasizes the importance of accountability and the lifetime value of a customer.
His journey wasn't as smooth as it sounds; he was laid off due to the pandemic. But he sees every setback as a chance to stand taller and grow stronger, and he shares how he spent his time self-educating to make himself more employable.
