Corporate Tsunamis Part 2: Surviving Mergers & Acquisitions

Corporate Tsunamis Part 2: Surviving Mergers & Acquisitions

If you work for a company that gets acquired by a bigger company, work the way you knew it is probably going to change. Experts state that Adaptability Quotient (the capacity to adapt to new ways of thinking and letting go of old habits) is crucial if you want to keep your job during a transition phase. For today’s episode, we talk with Jordan Stratton, Editor and Social Media Manager for The Dad, the #1 Most Engaged Family Media Brand on the internet. Jordan also writes, shoots, and produces The Dad’s celebrity interview series, “ Gettin’ Grilled,” which has led to conversations with the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Matthew McConaughey, and former WH Press Sec, Jen Psaki. And even more importantly, he’s VERY FUNNY. Jordan shares his experience navigating the acquisition process when the company he worked for was acquired. Spoiler alert! It wasn’t easy. He also reveals what Ryan Reynolds is like in real life. You won’t want to miss this one!
