1. ChatGPT’s response to my question, “Please summarize Kate Walton’s newsletter called “Workings,” which is published on Steyer Content’s website.”
2. Last year’s posts, organized in a Q&A format. Most of what I wrote in 2022 was prompted by questions I received—from our talent, candidates, and clients—so for those who like to poke around based on subject matter vs. publication date, this might be a useful list.
I look forward to connecting with you as we all continue to navigate this brave, new world of ours.
Thanks for reading,
Kate
