They're speaking African American English, according to linguist Lisa Green at the University of Massachusetts Amherst - in other words, "it's not mainstream English with mistakes." Lisa grew up speaking AAE in Louisiana, and since then, her ground-breaking research has found that AAE is based on a system of consistent grammatical rules, pronunciations and definitions. Some call it a dialect, which evolved from the African languages that slaves spoke blended with plantation English; in fact, when someone says, "she aks" instead of "she asks," they might be echoing Old English from centuries ago. Lisa argues that schools need to acknowledge and respect black children's African American English, even while they teach them Standard American English that they need to succeed in broader society.

In this episode of Endo Voices, Dr. Marcus Johnson sits down with outgoing AAE President Dr. Steven Katz for an honest and reflective conversation about leadership, mentorship, and the future of endodontics. From his early days on the Public and Professional Relations Committee to leading one of the most visible years in AAE history, Dr. Katz shares the experiences that shaped his presidency, including the organization's expansive media outreach, the evolution of the Worth Saving campaign, and the development of the updated CBCT position statement and trauma guidelines.Together, they explore the importance of servant leadership, the role of mentorship in organized dentistry, and how endodontists can continue to make meaningful contributions to the specialty at every stage of their careers. Dr. Katz also offers thoughtful insight into the challenges facing the profession—from educator shortages and student debt to the growing influence of AI—while emphasizing the enduring value of humanity, connection, and giving back.Episodes of Endo Voices may include opinion, speculation and other statements not verifiable in the scientific method and do not necessarily reflect the views of AAE or the sponsor(s).

Hosts: Jill Winkowski and Prue SalaskyDate: April 10, 2026Length: 37 minutesPublication Frequency: Fourth Friday (approx) of each monthIn this episode we explore African American English, its history, features, and variations, including in Hampton Roads, aka the 757. We interview three black academics in the region to learn about AAE and what defines it. We talk to Dr. Iyabo Osiapem, teaching professor of Africana Studies and Linguistics at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg. Founded in 1693, It's the only university in the state to offer an undergraduate major in linguistics. At Hampton University in Hampton, the city where the first African indentured servants and slaves arrived in North America in 1619, we speak to Dr. Darylyn Dance, a specialist in rhetoric and composition. We also talk to Dr. Travis Harris, a hip hop scholar who teaches at Norfolk State University in Norfolk. From them we learned about the distinctive syntactical and pronunciation features of the AAE dialect; various theories of its development, including from West African languages; some distinctive local vocabulary; the influence of hip hop in its evolution; and its controversial history related to education, including the 1979 Ann Arbor case and the 1997 Oakland decision.We learn about its labels over the years, including “non-standard Negro English” used by white linguist William Labov, “the father of sociolinguistics,” who pioneered research into AAE in the 1960s, We learn about the work of African American linguist John Baugh in exposing linguistic profiling and the development of the ebonics label by educational psychologist Robert Williams,     inventor of the BITCH test which highlighted cultural bias in standardized testing. Finally, we discuss attitudes to language variation. Here are some of the books and authors the three professors recommended for AAE: Olaudah Equiano (18th century)(enslaved, freed, went to UK) slave narratives, letters, poems;essayist and journalist Charles Chesnutt (turn of the 20th century) The Goophered Grapevine;Poetry by Frances Ellen Watkins (19th century); by Paul Laurence Dunbar (19th century); by Countee Cullen (early 20th century); by Langston Hughes (20th century); George Schuyler journalist, columnist, critic (20th century); Phyllis Wheatley, born in Africa, writing in second language; Imami All Mine by Connie Porter (This American Girl series); Zora Neale Hurston,  Their Eyes are Watching God; Alice Childress, Rainbow Jordan;  The Color Purple by Alice Walker;  Dutchman (1964 play) by Amiri Baraka; Sonia Sanchez (20th century) poet, playwright, professor; Maya Angelou; Toni Morrison;Gil Scott-Heron, “The Revolution will not be Televised” (“godfather of rap”); academic articles by Vershawn Ashanti Young (contemporary); Bernice McFadden, “Sugar” (2000)For those interested in hip-hop, the W&M Hip Hop Collection, started in the 1980s,  is part of Swem Library's Special Collections and includes recordings, publications, and ephemera from Virginia based hip hop artists. Local stars include Pharell and Clipse (the brothers Pusha T and No Malice).Send your questions and feedback to languagingHR@gmail.com; and for more information and to listen to previous episodes, check out our website, www.languaginghr.wordpress.com.

You can't stand out online with the same polished lines everyone else uses. Claude turns the tables and interviews me about what actually happens when you try to “sound more human” with AI and why most people fail on the first try: they serve the boardroom version of themselves. We unpack the cliché laundering problem, where AI doesn't fix generic messaging it can amplify it unless you explicitly train it to challenge your answers, call out platitudes, and push for what the customer would care about.From there, we move into the hard part of storytelling for LinkedIn and personal branding. The issue usually isn't that people have no stories, it's that they don't know which moments are interesting to someone else. We talk through practical ways to surface better material: paying attention to moments with tension, keeping quick notes, using AI to interview you until the specifics show up, and shaping the story around the audience's perspective rather than your timeline.We also pressure-test my frameworks like the 3x5 method for commenting and AAE (acknowledge, add value, extend). Structure helps people start, but if you follow it like a script, you'll sound robotic, and sameness kills attention. That's where the Von Restorff effect comes in: the different thing gets remembered, and often the “different thing” is emotion. We close with the simplest takeaway that almost nobody does: have the same real conversation in comments that you'd have face to face.If you want your content to carry your voice, not just your tips, listen now, then subscribe, share this with a colleague who posts safe, and leave a review telling me what you're going to change first.

In this episode of Endo Voices, Dr. Marcus D. Johnson sits down with Dr. Pierre Wohlgemuth for a thoughtful and collegial examination of two defining challenges in contemporary endodontics: the elusive cemental tear and the disciplined art of soft tissue management in surgical care.Cemental tears—seldom discussed yet likely underdiagnosed—often masquerade as endodontic or periodontal pathology. With a limited but growing body of evidence, accurate identification demands clinical vigilance. Key red flags include vital teeth presenting with periapical radiolucencies and persistent disease following technically adequate root canal therapy. The discussion explores the roles of occlusal trauma, CBCT interpretation, and histologic confirmation, reinforcing the importance of expanding the differential diagnosis before defaulting to retreatment or extraction. Decisions surrounding tooth preservation versus implant placement are framed not as reflexive, but as biologically and prognostically driven.A central theme resonates throughout: clinicians do not rise to the level of their intentions—they fall to the level of their training.Episodes of Endo Voices may include opinion, speculation and other statements not verifiable in the scientific method and do not necessarily reflect the views of AAE or the sponsor(s).

You’re doing a routine exam when you spot it – a stained hairline crack snaking across the marginal ridge of a molar. Your patient hasn’t mentioned any symptoms… Yet. Should you sound the alarm? Monitor and wait? Jump straight to treatment? Cracked teeth are one of dentistry’s most misunderstood diagnoses. Colleagues debate whether to crown or monitor. And that crack you’re staring at? It could stay dormant for years—or spiral into an extraction by next month. So what separates the teeth that crack catastrophically from those that quietly hold together? In this episode, I am joined by final-year dental student Emma to crack the code (pun intended) on cracked tooth syndrome.  We break down the easy-to-remember “position, force, time” framework to help you spot risk factors before disaster strikes, and share a real-world case of a 19-year-old bruxist whose molar was saved by smart occlusal thinking. If you’ve ever felt uncertain about diagnosing, explaining, or managing cracked teeth, this episode will change how you think about every suspicious line you see. https://youtu.be/mU8mM8ZNIVU Watch PS019 on YouTube Key Takeaways Risk factors include large restorations and bruxism. Occlusion plays a significant role in tooth health. Diet can impact the integrity of teeth. Every patient presents unique challenges in treatment. Communication about dental issues is key for patient care. Certain teeth are more prone to fractures due to their anatomy. The weakest link theory explains why some patients experience more dental issues. Patient history is crucial in predicting future dental problems. The age and dental history of a patient influence treatment decisions. Understanding occlusion is essential for diagnosing and treating cracked teeth. The location of a tooth affects the force it experiences during chewing. Bruxism increases the risk of tooth fractures. Tooth contacts and forces play a critical role in diagnosing issues. Opposing teeth can provide valuable insights into tooth health. Effective communication is essential in managing cracked teeth. Stains on teeth can indicate deeper issues with cracks. Monitoring and documenting cracks over time is crucial for patient care.

I'm thrilled to have Garry Sigle, Central Regional Director, and Sharon Nelson, Sr. Director of Legal Services for the Association of American Educators (AAE) on the show today.AAE provides professional benefits public school employees desire, like liability insurance and job protection, without funding partisan politics or non-education issues.The cost is $234 per year that includes $2 million in liability coverage. In contrast, the NEA cost is more than $1,400 per year that includes just half the liability coverage.In addition, rather than a group policy, AAE offers a per member, per instance policy, which guarantees each member will receive the benefits they are paying for.It's time to get the word out. Hope you can tune in.Support the show

Thought the teachers union was your only option? Think again. In this Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter is joined by Kenai teacher Kim Bates, Anchorage teacher Aimee Sims, and Garry Sigle, Central Region Director for the Association of American Educators (AAE), to unpack what AAE is, who it serves, and how it stacks up against NEA-Alaska. If you've never heard of AAE, you're not alone. While NEA-Alaska dues can run over $1,400 a year, AAE membership costs just $19.50 a month—about $234 a year. That's a savings of more than $1,100 annually—money that stays in your pocket while still giving you day-one legal protection and $2 million in professional liability coverage, double what NEA provides. And because AAE is non-union and non-partisan, your dues go entirely to supporting you as a professional—not to political campaigns. You stay covered under your district's negotiated contract, but without paying union prices. You'll also hear how substitutes, paras, bus drivers, and other W-2 school employees can join AAE (with a low-cost option for retirees), and why—after the 2018 Janus v. AFSCME decision—membership is a choice, not a condition of employment. If you want options that align with your values and your wallet, this energetic conversation is your roadmap.

The latest Endo Voices podcast drops some serious financial wisdom as Drs. Marcus Johnson, Andrew Chong, and Janatha Withanachchi aka "Dr. Jonny Walker" tackle the money matters that most dentists avoid but desperately need to master. Dr. Walker reveals how shifting from active real estate to passive investments freed him to focus on family and life, while Dr. Chung shares how trial-and-error investing inspired him to build an equities fund for dentists with modest capital. Their mantra? Align your financial moves with your career stage and long-term goals.Borrowing from Robert Kiyosaki's The Cashflow Quadrant, they encourage endodontists to transition to the “right side” of wealth—business owner and investor. Walker's “Walk of Wealth” platform empowers dentists to navigate passive investing smartly, offering resources like mastermind groups and real estate funds while warning of pitfalls like Ponzi schemes targeting the unwary. Meanwhile, Chung uncovers a stark reality: most endodontists feel financially unprepared but crave the knowledge to change that.Episodes of Endo Voices may include opinion, speculation and other statements not verifiable in the scientific method and do not necessarily reflect the views of AAE or the sponsor(s).

In this episode, Chip and Gini dismantle the myth that agency management can rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. They emphasize the importance of understanding the diversity and unique needs of different types of agencies, such as PR, ad, and digital agencies. Chip and Gini discuss their experiences in various agency environments and highlight the influence of agency size and specialization on management strategies. They caution against blindly following advice from other agency owners or consultants without considering the specific context and needs of one's own agency. They also stress the importance of tailoring roles and titles to actual needs rather than fixed hierarchies, revealing the potential pitfalls of title inflation and focusing too narrowly on prescribed roles like account or project managers. Key takeaways Chip Griffin: “The irony is that in most agencies, an account manager doesn’t manage and an account executive is not an executive.” Gini Dietrich: “If you’re listening to advice, or you have the mindset that you have to fill roles like an account manager, a traffic manager, a project manager…that is the fastest way to zero profit.” Chip Griffin: “You need to personalize your approach based on what you’re trying to accomplish and what your specific needs are, not what you’ve heard some other peer or expert tell you.” Gini Dietrich: “In a PR firm, it’s typically the people who are doing the work that are also doing the account management, the client service, and the project management, management, making sure the work gets done.” Related Be smart about titles at your agency How small agencies can improve employee retention Setting expectations for raises and promotions at your agency Beware of the experts View Transcript The following is a computer-generated transcript. Please listen to the audio to confirm accuracy. Chip Griffin: Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Agency Leadership Podcast. I’m Chip Griffin. Gini Dietrich: And I’m Gini Dietrich. Chip Griffin: And Gini, today is a one size fits all day. We’re going to talk about how every agency is exactly the same. And all you have to do is go through a simple checklist and you’ll know how to manage your business successfully. Gini Dietrich: Man, that’s going to make life so much easier. Awesome. Yes, Chip Griffin: it is. I mean, you know, it’s, it is nice that it’s just all about a simple formula. No real thought involved. Gini Dietrich: Okay. I wish that were the case. Unfortunately, yeah. Chip Griffin: Well, I think in all seriousness, I think one of the challenges that agency leaders have these days is there are a lot of resources out there. There’s this podcast. There are plenty of other podcasts like it. There are lots of articles. There are YouTube channels. There are books and a lot of it is framed as we do here in terms of agencies, right? The Agency Leadership Podcast. We don’t specify what kind of agency. As we talk, it becomes more clear, you know, where our general knowledge is. And so therefore where our general slant is, but on the surface, we’re just talking about agencies and there are a lot of other really smart people out there who are talking about agencies and giving you advice. The problem is that not every agency is the same. There are small agencies, there are large agencies, there are PR agencies, there are ad agencies, there are digital agencies. There are all these different permutations of it and understanding and trying to figure out how that all fits and how to understand the advice you’re being given is different. And so you need to appreciate that those differences exist and understand the advice you’re getting where it’s coming from. Gini Dietrich: Yeah, I, I mean, yes, and, and you’re right. That it’s not a one size fits all, unfortunately, and having worked both in a large global PR firm where it was all PR and having worked in an ad agency where we were building a PR department. They, they work completely different. They have different structures of teams. They have a production department. They have an account management client service department. They have creative, they have copywriting, they have art and graphic design. And, you know, we have pR. So that simplifies it, but that’s, that’s generally how it works. So I think you’re right, depending on the agency and depending on the expertise that you provide is going to help you craft sort of the organizational model or chart around the types of people that you hire. Chip Griffin: Yeah. And so when, when you’re out there and you’re consuming this advice, if you’re, if you’re listening to us, you know, that our background is primarily in PR, marketing communications, PESO model type agencies. Do we have other experience? Yes. I run a digital agency. I’ve got a lot of other experiences. We can talk about those things as well, but most of our advice is centered on those PR, marcoms, PESO agency types. And so. There are others out there who you’ll go and they’ll say, well, you know, an account manager should do this or that, or you should have a project manager. Most PR agencies aren’t going to follow that same advice for what an account manager should do. Most PR agencies aren’t going to even have a project manager. There are some smart people in the agency world who will talk about the, how important it is to have a traffic manager. Most PR agency owners don’t even know what a traffic manager is. So, so I will have them say, you know, I was listening to such and such a podcast and they were talking about how valuable a traffic manager is. What’s a traffic manager? Do I need one? No, you don’t. No, because you’re running a different kind of business. Gini Dietrich: Right. Chip Griffin: And so it’s the same thing. You have a lot of the folks who run the high volume agencies, the SEO PPC type agencies, they’ll be out there talking about how, oh, you need a VA, you need a salesperson. And for those kinds of agencies, those kinds of things can work. For most PR and Marcoms agencies, not so much. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Yeah, I totally agree. I think there are some exceptions to the rule for sure. You know, because we have, I’ve crafted my agency around the PESO model, we have core expertise in paid or in shared and owned media. And because of that, we do have a project manager, but I think we got Gosh, 15 or maybe 18 employees before, before we hired him. So even still, you know, you still had everybody managing the client. There was one, there is one point of contact before we hired the project manager. There was one point of contact for each client account. And then all the earned media or all the media types fell into that. But usually the point of contact was doing something like content owned media or earned media. Whatever was most important to the client, and then they were sort of the ones running it. So the point is, is that in a PR firm, it’s typically the people who are doing the work that are also doing the account management, the client service, and the project management, management, making sure the work gets done. Chip Griffin: And the roles, even within, as you point out, the, a PR or Marcoms agency. Based on your size, things are going to change. So it’s, it’s not even just about the kind of agency you are. It’s the size, right? That at five or 10 people, a PR agency is going to be almost exclusively generalists. You’ll have people who have a little bit of extra ability on the writing side, maybe a little bit extra on the media relations side, but you’re not going to have the, the well defined structures. I mean, when I worked in, in large agencies, we had an entire writing department, we had an entire creative department, right? And those, that made sense. At five or 10 employees, that doesn’t make sense for most of you out there. You don’t want to have two people who are nothing but writers. And, you know, cause they’re probably not going to have enough work to fill 40 hours a week each. And so you need to be thoughtful about those. And as you, as you hear some of these things, and as you talk to other agency owners about how they’re set up, you need to appreciate how, how is what they’re doing the same or different from what you’re doing so that you can draw the right conclusions for the structure that you want to put in place with your team. Gini Dietrich: The other mistake I see, especially PR firm agency owner, PR firm owners making is that there’s sort of a hierarchy traditionally, especially at the large firm. So you start as an account coordinator, you go to assistant AE, then to executive, account executive, senior AE. Account supervisor, managing supervisor, VP, SVP and on. Like that’s typically the, the organizational chart. And what I see agency owners, the mistake I see them making is they say, okay, well I have to hire an account coordinator and I have to hire an AAE and I have to hire an AE and they, they, they sort of fit people into that and they try to fit people into that process or that organizational structure without looks, taking a step back and looking at what they really need. Maybe you need somebody with like five to seven years of experience and they might need an account supervisor or management supervisor title, but you, because they only have five to seven years of experience, you want them in that AE or SAE level. And that’s just not the case. So I think you have to really step back and go, Okay, hang on a second. What kind of work needs to be done? How many years of experience do I need for the person to have? And what kind of titles are they looking for? You know, for us, as I was building my agency, I looked for people who had the experience I need and I sort of let them dictate the title. And in some cases it bit them in the butt a little bit because I, I remember a couple of times people were like, Oh, I really want to be chief content officer. I really want to be vice president. And they didn’t have enough experience, but titles didn’t matter to me. So I was like, okay, you can be chief content officer. I don’t care. And then they went to get another job. And from an ego perspective, got quote unquote demoted like two or three titles. They didn’t get demoted in terms of pay or anything like, core responsibilities, but from their perspective, they were demoted in terms of titles. So I also think you have to think about those kinds of things and have those honest conversations. Like I’m totally cool making you a chief content officer. If that’s what you, if that’s the title you want, but know that when, if, and when you leave us, you’re probably not going to get that same title. So should we think about what that might look like for your career path in general, not just at this agency. And some people are agreeable and some people are not, and that’s up to you. But I think the important thing is like figuring out what skillset you need and the years of experience that you need, and then work them into a title that way versus trying to follow that pattern. Chip Griffin: Yeah. And I think, I mean, certainly thinking about, you know, we’ve talked about career progressions and title paths and, you know, and all that kind of thing in the past, but you know, one of the things to think about, it’s not just how it impacts their career going forward. If you have title inflation, it’s also what, what your flexibility is in restructuring your own business because you want to be careful about giving someone a title that’s, that’s so large that it’s hard to layer them down the road, if you need to. Gini Dietrich: That’s a great point. That’s a really great point. Chip Griffin: So if you’ve got some of the chief content officer, I mean, about the only thing you can layer them with is a chief operating officer or CEO or president or something like that. There’s not much else that you have that you can logically at least, you know, make them subservient to in a way that doesn’t, you know, feel weird. Right. I mean, you don’t have a chief content officer report to a vice president or something like that typically. And so you want to be thoughtful about those. But as we’re thinking about titles, you know, that’s another area. Even if you compare PR agencies and you look at their title structures, the most junior title for all of them is likely going to be different. Yeah. Right. Some, I’m a junior person as an account coordinator. A lot, it’s account executive. A lot, it’s account manager. Yep. The irony is that in most agencies, an account manager doesn’t manage and an account executive is not an executive. Right? Gini Dietrich: Yes. Chip Griffin: Those are the common titles. Uh huh. But I’ve, I’ve been involved with agencies where an account executive was senior to an account manager. And I’ve been ones where an account manager is senior to an account executive. So, you know, it’s one of the reasons why salary surveys are so problematic in this field, because if I’ve got an account manager, and particularly when you’re looking across different kinds of agencies, right, because in an ad agency, an account manager is actually a fairly senior experienced person who’s managing the relationship. In most PR agencies, an account manager isn’t that senior, isn’t running the, the, the actual relationship. They may manage the day to day of the project, but it’s, it’s typically going to be someone senior to them who’s actually quote unquote, owns the relationship with the client and that, and that’s the person who’s responsible for growing the account and retaining the account. It’s not the account manager themselves. Now that, but that can be different, right? Cause it depends on how you structure your own agency. And so you need to be careful as you’re hearing, even us talk, because we’ll use it based on our own experience and how we’ve structured things, but it may not be the same as what you’re doing. And so you want to look at the big picture lessons you can take as opposed to, oh, well, I was told that I, you know, I should have an account manager who’s out, you know, and it’s their job to, to grow accounts. If it’s someone two years out of college, I’m not going to say it’s their responsibility to grow the account. Gini Dietrich: No. Chip Griffin: That doesn’t make any sense at all. It’s not their job to come up with big picture strategy. I mean, should they be able to manage day to day stuff? Yes, absolutely. Bigger stuff? I mean, you can’t just hand that off to someone junior most of the time. Gini Dietrich: Right. Totally agree with that. You know, it’s kind of like, I’ll say to a client, they’ll say, Oh yeah, I think that my 15 year old kid can handle social media. And I’m like, do you want your 15 year old kid to go golfing with your number one client without you? No, no, you don’t. So why would you let them talk externally to your customers and prospects? Like same thing, right? You don’t, you’re, you’re not going to expect your junior level employee to do that. Those kinds of things. Can they be in the meetings? For sure. Can they observe and listen? Absolutely. Should they be the one in charge of it? No freaking way. So the other thing I would advise is really you know, pay attention to what every, you know, all everybody advises, of course, but talk to other agency owners and understand like this is the world in which we live. And the, this is the type of person I’m looking for. And these are the types of titles they may or may not have. So you can talk to other agency owners and say, Hey, listen, what do you call your, your person who handles media relations at like five to seven years of experience or three to five or eight to 10 or whatever happens to be. And you’ll probably get, if you talk to five different agency owners, you’ll probably get five different answers, but it’ll at least give you an idea of, okay, If we’re thinking about this and I want to flip myself into that process, then where, where does it make me most comfortable? And so you start to look at it and really understand. You know, SAGA is a great place for that. You have a Slack community. The Spin Sucks community is probably about half agency owners. You can do that. PRSA has Counselor’s Academy, which is all agency owners. You can, you know, join that. So there are lots of places where you can just ask that question, and understand what titles are being used for different levels and different types of experience so that you can start to figure out, okay. And like I said, you may have get five different answers from five different agency owners, but it gives you enough basis and foundation to understand this is how I’m going to structure it and give you enough to be able to do that. Chip Griffin: Absolutely. I mean, you can learn so much from those things. And, you know, I would also say try to avoid fixating too much on titles. Focus on what the actual role is, what they’re doing. So as you’re, as you’re asking people, about, you know, how they’re structured, what they have, you know, for things, understand what those people actually do. Because before, you know, if you hear someone say you should have a project manager, cool, sit down and actually ask them, what does that person do? And then think about your own agency and put together a job description for what that person would do on a day to day basis. And then figure out, will it actually help to have this person? Can you get this in one individual? Or have you actually described a unicorn that’s actually three different specialist positions rolled into one and your odds of finding it are going to be tiny? Is it something that you need, but you only need 10 hours a week. And so it’s going to have to be rolled into something else because you can’t, or you’re going to find someone to do it part time because you don’t have 40 hours a week to fill it. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: And, and I think when you start doing those things and you start actually sitting down and asking yourself those tough questions about what is this person actually going to do? How do they fit in with the rest of the mix? That’s where you start to figure out whether it fits or not. And, and I, I hate to harp on VAs, but VAs are one of those things that a lot of agency coaches out there will tell you, Oh, it’s a lifesaver to have a VA. For most of you, it isn’t. Because for most of you, you’re not doing that much actual admin stuff. And so if you’re, if you’re not spending hours and hours a day doing admin stuff, then first of all, what you’re looking for is not truly a VA. You’re just looking for a contractor to do something else. And even then you need to figure out what can they actually take off of your plate. Because so often when I’ve talked with folks who are looking at hiring a VA, they tell me, here’s what they can do. And it’s, it may, you know, it’s, it’s maybe two or three hours a day, but the amount of time it will take them is half of that to manage it. So if you’re spending an hour and a half to manage getting three hours off your plate, what’s the point? Gini Dietrich: Right. Yeah. Yeah. Chip Griffin: So there is a time and place for all of these different roles. It may not be at five people. It may not be at 10 people. It may not even be a 20 or 25. It may be further down the road. It may be if you add a different kind of services to your point, if you start doing the full PESO model, yes, you’re going to start to need some specialists because it’s hard to have someone who has all of the different specialties in the PESO model, you know, in their, under their own hat. Gini Dietrich: Yeah, Chip Griffin: they exist, but they are unicorns. Gini Dietrich: Yeah, I found that out pretty quickly as we were building the agency around that, you know, 10 years ago, almost no one can do all four. So you, you do have to find specialists. And I will tell you that as we were doing it, you know, we didn’t have full time people that were focused on each. We had contractors and, you know, we brought them in as needed. And eventually we got to the point where we needed full time people under each media type, but it took us, Gosh, six or seven years to get there. So you, the same goes for you. You know, if you’re looking for a specialist, doesn’t have to be a full time employee either. Chip Griffin: Right, because you, it all comes back to understanding what your objectives are, what you need from a resource perspective, and then figuring out how you get there. If you, if you approach it from the, well, I’m told that I need to have account managers doing this and I need to have project managers to do that. And I need a traffic manager and all these different things. You don’t, you shouldn’t be starting with those titles. You shouldn’t be starting with thinking the roles of the big picture. You should start looking at the individual tasks that need to be accomplished and figure out who can do that on your current team, who has the bandwidth, who has the capability. If they don’t have either of those or one of those, then do you need to hire someone who has that ability? Do you need to find a contractor? Do you need to find a partner agency to work with? Whatever it may, there’s a lot of different ways to solve it, but you need to understand what your actual need is, as opposed to latching onto the notion of, a project manager or an account manager or a sales rep or whatever. Gini Dietrich: Yeah. I would say that if, if you’re listening to, or you have the mindset that you have to fit, find roles like that, we have to find an account manager. We have to do this. We have to do that. That is the fastest way to zero profit. And I speak from experience. So don’t do that. Take, take Chip’s advice and really look at what it is. What is it that we need? Who is it that can fill that role? And if we have any gaps, can we fill in with contractors for five or 10 hours a week to, to do that? Chip Griffin: Right. And, and understand the perspectives are going to be entirely different based on the experiences of the person sharing that, whether that’s a fellow agency owner or a coach or consultant like us or something else. We all have our own experiences. We’re all speaking about a specific kind of agency, which is a subset of all agencies. And if you understand that those things are different and you understand that your agency, even if you’re a five person PR agency, you’re not the same as every other five person PR agency. And so you really need to personalize your approach based on what you’re trying to accomplish and what your specific needs are, not what you’ve heard some other peer or expert tell you. Gini Dietrich: This is for sure. Yes, because your PR firm may be completely, you focus completely on media relations. So that’s completely different than my PR firm that doesn’t. So you also just have to, it’s a great point. You have to think about what the perspective of is of the person that’s giving you the advice. Chip Griffin: Absolutely. And it’s not one size fits all, you know, we’ll, we’ll share our perspective, take our perspective, keep listening to us, digest it, figure out what’s useful to you and where we’re just full of hot air and feel free to stop listening at that point. But you’ve been listening all the way through to the way through, Gini Dietrich: that’s right. Chip Griffin: And we appreciate that. So that brings us to the end of this episode of the Agency Leadership Podcast. I’m Chip Griffin. Gini Dietrich: I’m Gini Dietrich. Chip Griffin: And it depends.
