RE: Why I used to be embarrassed about my age and why you can be a leader no matter how old you are
Great article here. The truth about the field you're in - digital marketing is, you're probably better as a fresh-faced 22 year old than someone who's 32, 42 or 52. You can learn quickly. You don't have to unlearn anything. You grew up with facebook and twitter and google.
I faced similar challenges when I was a copywriter/blogger. I was 18 when I had my first freelance client. I was terrified of them finding out how young I was. Whenever I mentioned how young I was on a sales call, they'd lose interest or wouldn't give repeat work.
I quickly learned, grew a beard and avoided the conversations you mention :P
Grow a beard. Exactly. That's what I did!
