🎉 Career Update 🎉 “What value do you, Alec Wagley, bring to the world?” That question from Timm Chiusano stopped me in my tracks a few months ago. It came at a soul-searching moment when I was ready to take the next step in my career. And honestly, it wasn’t easy to answer. I spent a lot of time reflecting on this question and had some amazing conversations with many of you to better understand who I am and the value I bring. Thank you all for taking the time!

As I thought about this question, a few things became clear: (1) I love teaching and helping others succeed, (2) the creator space is where I belong, and (3) being surrounded by dope people is everything. These realizations became my compass as I figured out my next step. In a conversation with Reed Duchscher, something clicked. Night has built some of the biggest talent and brands in the world, shaping much of what the creator space looks like today. They have an incredible understanding of creators’ minds. When we combined that with my experience in developing and executing brand strategies, we knew it was time to build something special. That’s how the Night Advisory Practice (NAP) 😴 was born—a new initiative dedicated to 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 and 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 brands to succeed in the creator space. Going back to my compass, this checked all three of my boxes. I’m excited to announce my new position with Night as Vice President, Brand Advisory. There’s much more to come, but I’m beyond excited about this new chapter and grateful for each of you who’ve been part of the journey ❤️.
