2020 has brought all of us on quite a ride, and content creators, small business owners, and makers have all had to shift our practices and orientation without much of a guide book. Join us for a conversation about how to take back ownership of your digital and content footprints with designer, podcaster, and author Paul Jarvis. We’ll be chatting about what it means to “Own your Content” in a time where it seems, anything can happen. We’ll explore operating as a small business during a global pandemic, the shifting landscape of sharing content on the internet, how to take up healthy digital privacy practices, and much more.
This FieldTrip will include hands on reflective exercises, an interview with Paul and the opportunity to discuss, ask questions and engage with your fellow attendees.
Paul Jarvis is a designer, podcaster and author of the book Company of One (translated in 18+ languages) which explores what happens when we question growth in business. Paul is the cofounder of a simple, privacy-focused website analytics tool, called Fathom and the host of a podcast for Mailchimp called Call Paul, where he talks to small businesses about how they’re dealing with the global pandemic. Paul also writes a weekly newsletter called the Sunday Dispatches where he shares articles about working and living online with 35k subscribers.

WordPress.com is proud to sponsor CreativeMornings! WordPress.com helps millions of people create beautiful websites for small business, publishing, and blogging. We host sites for some of the biggest companies in the world – including Microsoft, News Corp., and The New York Times – and our users publish more than 80 million new posts every month.
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
