Original advice on life and the future--"Travel and vote."

Jenny Grigsby and #clarkclass 13.0

An always welcome returning speaker to this class is Jenny Grigsby of RefreshCreative, because she brings experience in not just social media like twitter, but in success in living, going beyond what a college degree means.
She  parlayed a UCO theater degree into her own digital media management company.
Her story of working  for nonprofits and the State Fair before branching out on her own is punctuated with humor and hard work, as she manages media for some major companies. 
Add her sense of humor--showing up in costume on Halloween, no-nonsense conversations with our students, and record of self taught media savvy, and she offers genuine insights.
How different is she? Asked what advice she'd give the students facing graduation, the answer was unexpected, and so important:
"Travel, and vote,"
Here are other student takeaways of her sometimes unorthodox advice in our debriefing after she left: 

• You learn by doing, from experience.
• Constant communication with clients.
• The goal is to make the clients look good and not yourself.
• Oklahoma City is collaborative and friendly.
• Content is king.
• Nobody has it figured out.
• It's not about promoting yourself; it's about selling tacos.
• It's alright to take a risk.
• Do everything as organically as possible.
• Don’t mix your business and your personal.
• Broaden your horizon.
• Personalize your content.
• Took Google classes to learn SEO.
• If I can do it you can to.
• Be authentic.
