    Peter Sadera, Sourcing Journal’s editor in chief, chats with Lauren Parker, director of Fairchild Studios, about the recent SJ Fall Summit, industry issues and how stakeholders are rising to the occasion, despite the challenges. “With so much uncertainty out there, just sitting around doom scrolling your balance sheets is not really going to get you anywhere.

So, I do think that that lent a slightly optimistic tone.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
