There are some incredibly talented people working in technology, design, business - and I wondered how do these people stay so fresh, so highly skilled and so motivated when the nature of their industry and their business changes so quickly and so often.

KH: Hire a content strategist, and/or create a content strategy board. Content gets political, complex and needs ownership. #w2e
