The Afternoon Shift

When I think about career as a team sport, I can’t help but think back to my post-college internship at Disney and the lifelong friendships that started there.

That experience, grounded in Disney’s legendary Traditions training program, taught me the power of hospitality, purpose, and connection. It also introduced me to this week’s guest, Taylor Scott, a best-selling author, speaker, and founder of Lead With Hospitality, whose career has spanned Disney, Gaylord, Wynn, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to lead with hospitality, why EQ matters more than IQ, how empathy and acceptance help us realign with purpose, the creative bravery it takes to keep growing, and why great leaders and great brands succeed for the same reason: they make people feel something.

Let’s keep making career more of a team sport.

What is The Afternoon Shift?

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.
