Season 2, Episode 2 of Creativity Connects with Mikki Wilson is a team edition. Mikki sits down in the Peabody TV studio with Ainsley Keating, Marketing Manager at Creative Collective, the organization that hosts this podcast. Most of Mikki's guests look back on a journey already lived; Ainsley is a recent graduate at the start of hers, and this episode is a chance "to see a woman becoming."
Ainsley graduated from Endicott College in 2026, where she studied psychology and communications with a focus on consumer behavior, and she now creates content, supports Creative Collective members, and tells the stories of this community. Beyond the job title, she talks about the college roommate she never had to front with, growing up sensitive after a move from Baltimore at age seven, empathy as a blessing and a curse, and what she has learned since moving from intern to full-time staff: not being a people pleaser, standing up for yourself, and remembering that change is good. Mikki and Ainsley also talk about being the youngest person in a room full of experienced business owners and why a "fresh, new set of eyes" is exactly what a community needs, eight years of karate that led back to boxing, and what Ainsley hopes she never loses. The episode closes with a surprise prop from Ainsley's own purse: a heart-shaped cherry Jolly Rancher.
