Creating Radical Content
“Create interesting valuable content and invite people in to participate. That’s the community side that will build an audience. And when you build an audience you can do anything because they know, like, and trust you.
Leaving a “dream job” for the unknown can be daunting, but it can also be the most fulfilling decision you’ll ever make. When Eric Gray left his “dream job” as the Senior Director of Content Innovation and Fan Engagement at Universal Studios to start Maverick Content Studio, it wasn’t because it was easy or an obvious choice. The decision was emotionally taxing and filled with uncertainty.
Eric isn’t the only person that has had a seemingly perfect job yet still felt unfulfilled. It took him a couple of years of planning, soul-searching, and drafting up a strategic path to really set his new venture in motion. The common feelings of doubt and fear have a way of making the it feel impossible to overcome obstacles. But when you believe in something you find a way to make it happen.
Eric didn’t just announce he was available for consulting. He created a compelling brand from the outset, crafted a polished public persona, and shared emotional stories. His launch wasn’t just about a business; it was about a journey toward genuine fulfillment.
Just like in the first eleven months where I struggled with maintaining presence and consistency on LinkedIn, Eric tackled those learning curves with grit and determination, culminating in Mavericks’ rapid growth and impactful presence.
So, if you’re navigating a challenging season in your career, don’t lose hope. Keep refining your vision, keep sharing your story, and keep moving toward that purpose. I believe in you and I’m cheering for your success.

Chase your radical change, dear friend. The journey is worth it.
