In this episode of the Fully Managed Podcast, Stefanie Gunning shares how a theater background, a love for storytelling, and a lifelong writing practice shaped her path into creative leadership. She opens up about embracing curiosity over rigid plans, learning to “see” visually as a writer, and why failure, humility, and experimentation are essential to great creative work. Stefanie also explores the importance of protecting your weirdness, rejecting snobbery, and building environments where people can take risks without fear. A thoughtful, inspiring conversation for creatives, strategists, and anyone navigating nonlinear careers.
