This document summarizes Scott K. Wilder's presentation on creating "T-shaped marketers" by developing skills in five key areas: Living, Interests, Foundation, Trends, and Skills (LIFTS). Wilder discusses helping students develop a broad yet deep set of marketing skills and knowledge through hands-on experience. He provides examples of developing skills in specific areas like Google Ads, Salesforce, and Hubspot's growth frameworks. Wilder also emphasizes the importance of continually learning new trends and having both soft skills and experience across different marketing disciplines to remain successful and adaptable in a changing job market.

experiencing classroom education by the age of 18, and that much of what is taught is forgotten within a
short time.

81. But…..
“Don’t follow your passion, follow your talent” --- Determine what you are good at (early), and commit to becoming great at it.
“You don't have to love it, just don't hate it.” --- If practice takes you from good to great, the recognition and compensation you
will command will make you start to love it.
“Eventually, you will shape your career and your special skills -- If not, then go follow your passion.”
- Scott Galloway
