  • Summary

  • In The Crazy One Episode 135, Stephen Gates dives deep into a pressing topic in the creative industry today: “experience-ism.” As companies face economic downturns and shifting priorities, experience that once stood as an asset now feels like a liability. In this episode, Stephen reflects on the frustrations of senior creatives navigating the job market, where seasoned professionals find themselves sidelined for being “too experienced” or “too opinionated.” He explores how companies are shifting toward creativity as a service, prioritizing quick delivery over impactful design and leadership. Stephen shares his personal struggles with this trend and offers advice for creatives seeking fulfillment and opportunities in a market that increasingly values the status quo over innovation. Listen in for a candid take on how to navigate these challenging times and what it means to stay true to your creative expertise, even when experience feels like a disadvantage.
