Your Career Pivot Playbook
With Jazz Pitcairn and Katrina Craig on The Media Odyssey Podcast - Ep. 20
I’ve made peace with the twists and turns of my own journey, trusting my gut led me to trade the bar exam for a record label, swap vinyls for the red carpet, and leave a high-paid corporate role to launch Streaming Made Easy. This week on The Media Odyssey Podcast, we hand the mic to two guests who share that same bold spirit:
Katrina Craigwell went from PR intern at IFC and three layoffs to MD of Product at Chase. She turned each setback into a network win and learned that “if you spend a minute understanding how any one of these machines works, it teaches you there is a story anywhere.”
Jazz Pitcairn left the Cayman Islands at 17 to join NYU’s film program, became the first Caribbean writer on A Black Lady Sketch Show, and crowdfunded her own climate-focused short back home. “You have to own the path you want to take and not follow in the footsteps of other people.” - Jazz Pitcairn
