You’re reading this podcast description right now. But are you really paying attention? I mean, really tuned in? Or are you half reading and half thinking of your upcoming deadlines, a campaign that underperformed, and a plethora of other tasks, goals, and concerns? Actually being in the moment – and wringing the most we can get out of it – is so difficult during these modern times.  Which is why I love a lesson in the podcast guest application for this episode’s guest, “Stop running to stand still.” Sometimes we’ve got to get step off that treadmill and focus on being where we are. To hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories, I talked to Justine Greenwald, Chief Creative Officer and Co-Managing Director, Mosaic (https://www.mosaic.com/). Mosaic is an Acosta Group Agency. Privately held Acosta Group is 96 years old and serves 2,500 clients, including 60 billion-dollar brands. As Chief Creative Officer, Greenwald overseas the strategy, creative, and design departments – 65 people across North America.
