Michael welcomes journalist and creator Natalie Campisi to the Top Voice Podcast to discuss reinventing yourself mid-career after repeated industry upheavals. Natalie traces her path from traditional newsrooms and the Associated Press through a pivot into marketing, then back to financial journalism at Bankrate and Forbes before being laid off in 2025 amid widespread media cuts. She explains how today’s moment differs from 2008 due to changing news consumption, SEO’s decline, AI-driven distrust, and the growing value of trusted human personalities. Natalie shares the Gen X “identity crisis” of job loss, redefining success, and choosing independence by building a YouTube channel, pursuing filmmaking, and learning AI tools for production. They discuss perfectionism, making mistakes, networking, asking for help, and practical advice for experienced professionals navigating career pivots.
