The First Borns Club

Published: Oct. 12, 2020, 10 a.m.

Welcome to the first meeting of the First Borns Club. Okay, perhaps we\u2019re not creating an actual club, but maybe we should! One of the topics that came up in last week\u2019s episode and this week\u2019s episode was about the impact being a first born child has on your career. For some reason, first born children tend to be rule followers which is great when you\u2019re a child and get constantly praised for making good choices. However, rule-following can also become a hindrance when you\u2019re in the professional world and need to be able to advocate for yourself, take risks, and so much more. In this episode, we chat with Michael Hartmann who has more than 20 years of experience in various industries. Most recently, he was the Director of Marketing Technology and Demand Generation at Freeman, a leading events organization. He started his career in management consulting before transitioning to marketing. He\u2019s also held a variety of roles in marketing operations, marketing tech, and demand generation.
