Some people chase content creation outside of work. Others end up building influence inside the walls of their company. Shannon Ogborn is one of the first people in our space to do it at scale.

In this episode, we get into the real story behind becoming a content creator for your employer — the trade-offs, the boundaries, and the benefits no one talks about. You’ll hear how Shannon went from Recruiting Ops to podcast host for Ashby, what it takes to show up authentically when you represent a brand, and how she measures success in a role that’s still new for most companies.
