Members of SOURCE recently gathered at the CMA building for the panel “Blurred Lines: Creating Boundaries in a Boundaryless Business.” The discussion was moderated by SOURCE Programming Co-Chair Ashley Hertzog Embry and featured Big Loud Senior VP of A&R Sara Knabe, singer-songwriter Emily Shackelton and Porter’s Call Co-Executive Director and Counselor Beth Barcus.
The conversation centered around each woman’s journey in the music industry and setting boundaries, struggles to say “no” and finding work-life balance. “If it’s a ‘maybe’ it’s a ‘no’,” Knabe shared during the panel. “That’s helped me … and being okay with that allows me to set up boundaries for my personal time and work.”
