The Afternoon Shift is a hub for mid-career marketing, media, and creative professionals navigating what’s next. Hosted by Brady Sadler, this show explores how to thrive, not just survive, during the most pivotal stretch of our careers. What started with a few small group conversations quickly became something deeper: research, newsletter, events, a growing community, and now these recorded conversations. We're sitting down with incredible leaders across a wide range of businesses, to dig into personal stories, practical solutions, and the bigger questions shaping our work and our lives right now. This isn’t just a show. It’s part of a larger effort to turn ideas into collaborations, and connections into meaningful work. Because we believe career should be more of a team sport. If this sounds like your kind of community, please hit the follow button. That's a small way you can help us connect with more people. Thanks for listening.

Making Moves in Mid-Career: A Deeply Honest Take From a Senior Brand Leader

How do you find career clarity when everything feels uncertain?

Frank Hwang - now Senior Director of Marketing at Viking Range and formerly a brand and marketing leader at SharkNinja, Sperry, EF Education First, Timberland, Cannondale, and more - has navigated multiple transitions, including a recent move from full-time to consulting and back into a major leadership role.

In this candid and energizing conversation, Frank shares how he managed the uncertain months, questions around personal value and focus, the good, bad, and ugly of the modern hiring process, when to invest in personal business development, the mindset required to consult on your own, and how to identify a new role that feels aligned.

Whether you’re considering a move, riding out a transition, settling into something new, or just wondering what’s next, this is a story you’ll relate to.

Thanks for being here.

Let's make career more of a team sport.
