When Roger belted out that line, he was singing about change. Or rather, the absence of change.

Let’s apply that notion to the creative industry.

Your next boss will be no different from your old boss — the one you might work for right now or the one who recently gave you the boot through an email crafted by ChatGFU.

At some point, no matter how talented or respected you are, or what accolades you’ve earned in the past, they will not matter.

• You will be considered irrelevant.

• You will be aged out of the workplace.

• You will make references to classic rock songs that no one on the Zoom call will get.

• And you will experience the five delightful stages of grief with no idea what to do next.

So, what you gonna do, man? Sit around and wait for the even newer boss? Or maybe the second coming of QuarkXPress?

Perhaps you’ll update your resume and LinkedIn profile with all the latest TikTok acronyms (OMG). Or submit 500 resumes to every company in the Yellow Pages (er, the web) where you’ll compete with eight billion other people who are younger, more tech-savvy, and without a strand of Michael McDonald gray beard.

SING IT THROUGH YOUR NOSE EVERYBODY, “IT KEEPS YOU RUNNING, IT KEEPS YOU RUNNING.”

You could do those things, but they’re the career equivalent of your older brother smacking you in the face with your own hand while he laughs and says, “Stop hitting yourself,” over and over. Because, as we’ve learned through helping creatives of all stripes and sizes — and having passed through the Valley of the Unemployed ourselves more than once (we made it!) — the old school way of finding your next gig is not just humiliating — it’s dead.

What if we could show you a different way?

Ok, fine. We don’t pretend to know all the answers. We’re not thought leaders, gurus, or Doug Henning (If you remember Doug Henning, you’ve come to the right place. If not, you’ve still come to the right place).

What we are, and what we know from working inside and outside the creative industry for 25+ years, is how to help people find their true superpowers and put them into action. And once you know what those superpowers are, that’s when you take control of your destiny: a destiny where you can use your wisdom and experience to build something tangible, steady, and sustainable as you move into your “second act” and reclaim your peak self.

F*ck the old boss, man. YOU are the new boss.
