On this episode of the Fully Managed Podcast, host Shannon sits down with Mila Golubov, a creative director and strategic partner at SheLance, to explore what it means to lead with empathy, embrace experimentation, and thrive as a female creative in a world that’s rapidly evolving through AI. The two dive into a lightning round called “She Said, She Led”, where Mila shares her leadership instincts on client pushback, creative risks, and managing difficult team dynamics.
