Episode 99: Jess Escalona
Listen now
Description
My guest tonight is the CEO of Common Mode Inc., Jess Escalona! Jess tells me about working in a hip hop studio and doing post-production at a television studio while pursuing a degree in music and recording arts from William Paterson University, and finding that the work really didn't suit her; but a meeting with an adviser led to an interview at Common Mode Inc., and that led to immediate employment, and she liked that work so much that she's been there ever since. Jess and I then discuss her various different roles at Common Mode over the years, and how very important good -- and timely -- communication is in this industry. All this and more over some water and a Whoville's Spiced Up Christmas Margarita! You can find Jess and Common Mode on Twitter and Instagram at @commonmodeinc.
