Doing the Thing: How Curiosity and Opportunity Shaped Jack Follis’ Career
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of How Did I End Up Here?, I’m joined by Jack Folliw, a business growth specialist at digital marketing agency QBD. But Jack’s path to the world of digital marketing has been anything but straightforward.
From studying journalism and writing for magazines, to volunteering in Rwanda, painting canal boats, running creative side projects, and eventually moving into the world of web design and business growth, Jack’s career has been shaped by curiosity, opportunity, and a willingness to try things outside his comfort zone.
We talk about discovering creativity, the value of saying yes to unexpected opportunities, and how Jack’s “side quests” along the way helped him build skills he uses today.
Jack also opens up about navigating anxiety and a major mental health challenge during COVID, and the mindset shifts, including gratitude and surrounding yourself with inspiring people, that helped him move forward.
I hope you enjoy this episode.
