In a recent episode of 'How I F*cked Up,' we spoke with Annie Mygind—creative talent recruiter and agency veteran—about what it really takes to build lasting relationships, navigate career curveballs, and lead with intention.

Empathy drives alignment

Whether hiring talent or partnering with clients, Annie emphasizes the value of tuning into individual needs. Understanding motivations—not just résumés—leads to stronger, more aligned outcomes.

Trust builds better partnerships

Annie makes it clear: trust isn’t optional. When people feel safe to speak honestly, whether in interviews or brainstorms, it leads to deeper connections and better results.

Owning your missteps matters

Mistakes happen. What counts is how you handle them. Annie shares how being transparent and reflective about past missteps has helped her grow and stay grounded.
