SNL. NFL. MLS. 313. You know you've got a good brand on your hands when all it takes is three letters or numbers to evoke an image or a moment that millions of people around the world recognize. But whether it's a super quotable comedy sketch, an unforgettable moment in football (both American and European), or the birthplace of the car and Motown, it can be all too easy to take powerful branding for granted after it becomes so ingrained in our daily lives.But that doesn't detract from just how much time and work goes into building, cultivating, and sometimes revitalizing these brands to the point that they become their industry's standard-bearer. And more importantly, it doesn't take away from the role of strong relationships—old and new—in defining these brands and businesses. In this week's episode, host Anne Green catches up with old friend and former colleague Howard Handler, President of 313 Presents. Howard provides an engaging overview of his journey from growing up in Detroit to playing key roles in major brands across industries, including Quaker Oats, Lorne Michael's Broadway Video, the NFL, and Virgin Mobile USA.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores the messiness of life and how what appears to be a series of obstacles is an integral part of our career journey. Navigating life's messiness isn't just about bouncing back but about embracing the new opportunities the experience may offer. It's our reaction to the chaos that matters and Cindy is here to guide us on how to embrace the unexpected.Rolling with life's punches and working through life's chaos can feel like a disheartening setback. But resilience is connected to confidence, so when we endure, our confidence grows when we realize we can survive whatever happens. Confidence is vital for career survival and Cindy has three strategies for maintaining confidence in the workplace: 1. Know our stuff, 2. Celebrate the wins, and 3. Speak up in meetings. Confidence and resilience are interconnected and we'll need both to succeed.  It can still be difficult to embrace life's messiness, however, and Cindy understands the struggle. Telling ourselves to enjoy the ride even if the journey is chaotic is one thing, but actually doing that is another. So Cindy offers three strategies for embracing the possibilities within the mess: 1. Look for opportunities in the unexpected, 2. Make flexibility our new best friend, and 3. Embrace the learning even when it's tough. Cindy unpacks her strategies and lays out a solid plan for surviving and thriving through life's messes, guidance useful no matter what stage of career we're in.  Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Embracing the MessinessAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email
