Melissa and Taekia are back to talk about goodbyes. Taekia is moving on from Mischief to the next step in her career, so the duo take the episode to go over lessons learned, mistakes made, and wishes for the places you leave behind. Melissa also talks about what's next for Make New Mistakes!

In this week’s podcast, Melissa and Taekia admit that it’s kind of hard to talk about mistakes when the world is on fire. So instead, they talk about tips for managing uncertainty!

These are tips and tricks that expand beyond the current crises and are tools for personal and professional stability during times of change and uncertainty.

We look at the importance of a network of peers (3:29), our human ability to adjust to shifting circumstances (9:42), and sustaining your vision for the future (22:20).

And it can be hard to pick out just one mistake in the news these days, but because we’re event planners, we briefly discuss Trump’s Tulsa rally (28:46).

In today's episode, we are joined by Robyn Warren, founder of Geek Girl Strong and host of the new Mischief Media podcast Healthy Geek Academy!

Robyn talks about starting her very own business and her background in education (3:24-7:25). She delves deeper into just how Geek Girl Strong functions at the crossroads of fandom and wellness and talks about having to move her operations online (7:26). We ask Robyn about her own mistakes in business and then, as a group, discuss figuring out when to say no (16:03-20:58)

In mistakes in the news (22:03), we discuss Shake Shack's (brilliant? awful? tactical?) move to first obtain and then give back $10 million of the SBA PPP.

And lastly, mistakes we made this week (34:24) and self-care tips (36:58) both involve discussions about baking bread. Who knew?!
