Success was never meant to be a solo ride. If you're exhausted from pulling the whole load yourself, maybe it's time to stop fighting the wind and start riding with a peloton. Welcome Pivoter! In this episode, April explores one of the most powerful lessons from the world of cycling: the peloton. In a bike race, riders work together, taking turns leading and drafting. Some days you're at the front pushing the pace. Other days you're hanging on, benefiting from the strength of those around you. The same is true in business and life. Too many entrepreneurs believe they must carry everything alone. But success isn't built through isolation. It's built through community, support, and the willingness to both lead and be led when necessary. April shares insights from a mastermind conversation and explains why staying in motion matters more than staying in front. In This Episode You Will Learn: How the cycling peloton serves as a powerful metaphor for business and life. Why everyone experiences seasons of strength and seasons of struggle. The importance of allowing others to support you when you're facing headwinds. Why "drafting" is not weakness but a strategic tool for sustainable success. How the right team can help you overcome challenges faster than going it alone. Why momentum matters more than speed during difficult seasons. How to recognize when it's your turn to lead and when it's your turn to receive support. Key Takeaways: You don't have to be the strongest person every day. Success is built through relationships, community, and shared effort. Drafting isn't quitting. It's conserving energy so you can keep moving forward. Every leader will eventually need support from others. The goal isn't to lead every mile. The goal is to stay in the race. Quotes: "Just because you're at the back of the peloton today doesn't mean you're losing. It means you're staying in the race." "The strongest riders don't lead every mile. They know when to push and when to draft." "Success is not a solo journey. Find your people and keep pedaling." Challenge: This week, ask yourself: Who is in your peloton? Where are you trying to do everything alone? What support are you refusing because of pride? Who could you lean on so you can keep moving forward? Remember, Pivoter, slowing down is allowed. Stopping is not. ---------------- Want more tools to help you create momentum, clarity, and growth in your business and life? Ready to take this work beyond the podcast?

Looking for a high-paying remote job in 2026? Whether you're trying to find remote work in a tough job market, navigating a career change to remote, or wondering why your remote job search isn't working, this episode of Happen To Your Career breaks down exactly how to land a high-paying remote job in 2026 and where the best remote roles are actually being filled. Only 4% of job postings in 2026 are labeled fully remote. Not 20%. Not 50%. Just 4%. That's the entire pool every remote job seeker is competing over. And the best high-paying remote roles, the ones with real compensation, real flexibility, and real ownership, were never posted in the first place. If you've been applying to remote jobs for months and hearing nothing, the problem isn't your resume, your industry, or your experience. The problem is that you're searching in the wrong 4% of the market while 96% of remote opportunities are happening somewhere else entirely. In this episode, we break down the three types of remote job seekers (the Escapee, the Skeptic, and the Pivoter), the three roads that consistently land high-paying remote jobs, and the exact strategy clients like Rachel used to go from 4 months of applications to 3 weeks to an offer.

You could hit the goal, crush the milestone, and still feel behind. That's not ambition, Pivoter — that's living in the gap instead of the gain. In this episode, April dives into one of the most important mindset shifts for high performers and entrepreneurs: The Gap vs. The Gain. Because let's be honest… Most of us are wildly skilled at moving the goalpost. We hit a milestone and immediately think: "Yeah, but I should be further along." "It's not enough." "I could've done it faster." And while ambition can fuel progress, constantly measuring yourself against an ever-moving ideal can quietly rob you of fulfillment, confidence, and momentum. Drawing inspiration from the work of Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy, April breaks down why high achievers often feel perpetually behind, even when they've made incredible progress. This episode explores: Why entrepreneurs live in "the gap" How measuring yourself against the ideal creates dissatisfaction Why appreciating your gains actually fuels future growth The importance of measuring backward, not just forward How to use your past wins as evidence for your future success April also shares real examples from her mastermind clients, including: The entrepreneur who forgot how far she'd come in her health journey The business owner who normalized his fitness consistency Why high performers dismiss their own progress without realizing it In This Episode You Will Learn: What "The Gap" vs. "The Gain" actually means and why high performers naturally drift toward the gap. Why constantly moving the goalpost makes success feel impossible to enjoy. How measuring backward instead of forward changes motivation and confidence. Why fulfillment comes from progression, not perfection. The importance of recognizing what used to feel hard that now feels easy. 3 practical ways to start living in the gain instead of the gap. How to use your wins as evidence for your next level of growth. Quotes: "You are not lacking success — you are likely just measuring it wrong." – April Garcia "The ideal always moves faster than your actual progress." – April Garcia "Fulfillment is found in progression, not achievement." – April Garcia "There's something already in your rearview mirror that's on someone else's bucket list." – April Garcia Pivot Point Takeaway: You don't need more success to feel fulfilled. You need to stop ignoring the success you've already created. Because when you acknowledge how far you've come, you gain the confidence and momentum to tackle the next mountain. ---------------- Want more tools to help you create momentum, clarity, and growth in your business and life?

Most high performers aren't stuck because they lack discipline. They're stuck because they're trying to fix things that were never meant to be their strengths. That's not growth — that's burnout with a productivity planner. In this episode of PivotMe, April dismantles one of the most persistent myths in personal development: that success requires being "well-rounded." Drawing from strengths psychology, Gallup research, and real-world high performers, April explains why obsessing over weaknesses produces minimal return — and why leverage, not balance, is the real driver of scale. This episode is for anyone who feels exhausted trying to improve in areas that drain them, while underusing the strengths that actually move the needle. Key Takeaways The myth of being well-rounded High performers are intentionally uneven. They don't chase balance — they chase leverage. What strengths psychology proves Research from Gallup and CliftonStrengths shows that people who develop strengths are more engaged, productive, and fulfilled, while weakness-fixation yields diminishing returns. Why fixing weaknesses feels responsible Weakness work feels humble and mature — but it's often fear in disguise. Strengths create visibility, expectation, and accountability. What elite performers actually do They: Name their strengths clearly Design systems and teams around weaknesses Build leverage instead of willpower Limitations vs. liabilities A limitation is something you're not great at. A liability is something you refuse to acknowledge. Awareness neutralizes weakness. Denial weaponizes it. Quotes "High performers are not well-rounded. They are intentionally uneven." "Weaknesses rarely become strengths — they usually just become less annoying." "You don't scale by becoming more balanced. You scale by becoming more you — on purpose." "Your business doesn't grow when you fix everything. It grows when you stop asking your weaknesses to lead." The Challenge Ask yourself honestly: What am I trying to fix that I should be designing around? Which strength have I underused because it makes me visible? What would change if I trusted my strengths enough to build around them? Stop fixing. Start leveraging. Growth doesn't come from becoming well-rounded. It comes from becoming effective. Your job isn't to be everything. Your job is to be dangerously good at the things that matter most. Keep pivoting forward, Pivoter. ____________ Want help identifying and leveraging your strengths — without burning yourself out?
You can list your weaknesses on demand. But when someone asks, "What's your unfair advantage?" — you freeze. That hesitation? That's the real problem. Welcome, Pivoter. In this episode of PivotMe, April challenges one of the most common and costly habits high performers have: obsessing over gaps instead of leveraging strengths. Most people can tell you exactly where they fall short — where the market is crowded, where they're behind, why it's harder for them than everyone else. But ask them to name their unfair advantage, and everything stops. This episode reframes what an unfair advantage actually is, why everyone has one, and how ignoring yours keeps you stuck playing someone else's game instead of winning your own. Key Takeaways Why we fixate on what we lack Focusing on shortcomings feels safer. It gives us a reasonable excuse for mediocre results — but it also keeps us from pushing again. What an unfair advantage really is It's not cheating. It's not luck. Your unfair advantage is anything that makes progress easier for you than it would be for someone else. Unfair advantages don't have to be flashy They might be traits, skills, experiences, timing, or perspective. They just have to be true. Examples of unfair advantages Pattern recognition Communication skills Emotional intelligence Experience watching businesses succeed and fail Early exposure to trends or industries April models her own advantages From bridging generations to disciplined execution and deep internal work, April demonstrates how knowing what you can lean on creates clarity and momentum. Why this matters in business Your unfair advantage tells you: What lane to stay in What problems you solve best What you should stop competing on Why this matters in life Resilience, adaptability, and emotional awareness are advantages — especially if you've survived things others couldn't. The Challenge Write this sentence and finish it honestly: "My unfair advantage is…" Not what sounds impressive. Not what you wish it was. What's actually true. Then ask: How can I use this more intentionally in my business? How can I lean on this more fully in my life? Stop trying to win someone else's game. Win yours. You don't need to fix everything you're bad at. You need to stop ignoring what you're already good at. Your unfair advantage isn't hiding. You've just been apologizing for it instead of using it. Keep pivoting forward, Pivoter. Want help identifying and leveraging your unfair advantage?
A year sounds ambitious… but it's also the adult version of saying, "I'll start on Monday." And Monday never comes. Welcome back, Pivoter. Last week, April introduced your 4 Rocks — the four non-negotiable outcomes that actually matter this year. In this episode, she takes it one step further by challenging a deeply ingrained habit that quietly kills momentum: thinking in twelve-month timelines. Drawing inspiration from The 12 Week Year by Brian Moran, April reframes how high performers should approach execution — not by lowering goals, but by shortening the runway. This episode is about shifting from vague ambition to focused action by treating the next twelve weeks like they actually matter. Key Takeaways Life runs in seasons, not years Real change happens in defined windows — launches, training cycles, transitions, and sprints. Twelve weeks mirrors how life actually works. A year creates comfort; a quarter creates urgency Long timelines invite procrastination. Short timelines sharpen focus and accelerate action. Time constraints improve performance Just like Parkinson's Law, work expands to fill the time you give it. Compress the timeline and execution improves dramatically. Quarterly focus reduces overwhelm Instead of reacting to everything, twelve-week thinking helps you decide what matters now — and what can wait. This is a gift for goal-avoiders A twelve-week season feels safer than a year. It's practice, not identity. Low pressure, high clarity. Execution beats dreaming This mindset isn't about thinking bigger — it's about showing up consistently as the person you're becoming. How This Connects to Your 4 Rocks You already chose the mountains. Now you decide which part of the climb matters this season. Not all four. Not the whole plan. Just this twelve-week window. You're not lowering the goal — you're shortening the runway. And when you do that, motivation becomes optional. Momentum takes over. Reflection Question What would change if I treated the next twelve weeks like they actually mattered? Sit with that. Because clarity compounds quickly when time is constrained. Want help turning your 4 Rocks into a focused 12-week execution plan?
Hope is not a strategy. And "like" belongs on Facebook, not in your goal plan. Welcome, Pivoter. The calendar has flipped and the year is officially underway. While most people are already drifting away from resolutions they made in a rush, this episode is about doing something different. In this episode of PivotMe, April walks you through how to define your 4 Rocks for 2026 — the four non-negotiable outcomes that will determine whether next December feels like a victory lap or another year that "flew by." These are not wish-list goals. Not "someday" ideas. They are the pillars that, if accomplished, make everything else easier — or unnecessary. Key Takeaways Failures are data points, not identity Missed goals are feedback. Outcomes don't define who you are — they refine how you move forward. Alignment beats ambition Sometimes goals aren't missed — they're outgrown. Growth changes priorities, and that's evolution, not failure. Big Rocks don't shout — they whisper The loudest things in your life are rarely the most important. Your inbox is louder than your health. Clients are louder than family. Your 4 Rocks live in what quietly matters most. What makes a true Big Rock A real Rock is an outcome that carries weight — one that reshapes everything around it. These are pillars, not tasks. How high performers actually execute Schedule the commitment Make it visible Identify friction early Review monthly Celebrate momentum, not perfection Sustained motion beats flawless execution every time. Write this at the top of a page: "My 4 Rocks for 2026." List only four. Say them out loud. Say them like a promise. You're not hoping. You're deciding. Stop negotiating with your non-negotiables. Want help identifying, refining, and executing your 4 Rocks?

You know what's more expensive than a bad hire? A great hire you set up to fail. Welcome, Pivoter! In Part 2 of this series, April dives into the five most common reasons new hires fail in small businesses — and, more importantly, how to stop repeating those mistakes. Drawing from Who, Topgrading, and real small-business case studies, she unpacks what actually derails your new hires: lack of clarity, rushed processes, weak onboarding, and the avoidance of tough calls. This episode is your small-business hiring playbook — practical, tough-love, and designed to help you build a team that performs, grows, and sticks around. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ No Clear Role or Scorecard Most small businesses hire for a vague "we need help" problem. Without a clear scorecard—outcomes and success metrics—your hire has no idea what winning looks like. 2️⃣ Culture Misfit In lean teams, one bad attitude can tank culture faster than any skill gap. Hire for values first, skills second. 3️⃣ Rushed or Poor Hiring Process Reactive hiring ("we need someone now") leads to "warm body" hires. Structure your process. Use reference checks, repeatable interview questions, and patience. 4️⃣ Lack of Onboarding & Milestones Even great hires fail without structure. 30/60/90-day milestones and regular check-ins are your early warning system. 5️⃣ Owner Avoidance of Tough Decisions Hanging onto a bad fit because of time or money invested only drains morale and momentum. Move on fast — sunk costs are still costs. The Pivot Playbook: How to Prevent Failures ✅ Build a Scorecard Before You Hire Define outcomes and success metrics before posting the job. ✅ Hire for Culture First, Skills Second A bad attitude sinks ships — values alignment keeps them sailing. ✅ Use a Structured Hiring Process Consistency beats gut feeling every time. ✅ Onboard With Milestones Weekly check-ins, clear feedback, and 90-day checkpoints create accountability. ✅ Fire Fast When It's Not Working Courage now prevents chaos later. Quotes "Good people want to know what it means to be good in your organization." "A-players crave clarity. If you don't define success, you can't expect them to deliver it." "The cost of keeping the wrong person is always higher than the cost of letting them go." Conclusion Bad hires aren't random — they're predictable. And if they're predictable, they're preventable. Define success. Protect your culture. Stay disciplined. That's how small businesses attract A-players and keep them.
You know what's worse than making a bad hire? Making a bad hire… and then wasting weeks of your life obsessing over it instead of moving on. That's like tripping on a rock and then deciding to camp there forever. Welcome, Pivoter! Today, April tackles one of the most expensive, frustrating, and inevitable parts of running a business — bad hires. If you've been in business long enough, you've made one. We all have. The financial loss hurts, but what's even more costly is how long we stay stuck — replaying the mistake instead of moving on to our next right decision. In this episode, April shares her own hiring horror story, client examples, and practical strategies for how to do the emotional autopsy, learn the lesson fast, and move forward faster. Because the truth is: the real failure isn't hiring the wrong person — it's letting that one bad hire rob you of time, energy, and your next opportunity. Key Takeaways Bad hires are inevitable — but obsession is optional. The true cost isn't the mistake; it's the dwelling on the mistake. Learn fast, move on faster. Do your post-mortem, own your role, and pivot. Don't stay emotionally stuck. Hiring = dating. If you keep dragging the baggage from your last bad hire into your next interview, you'll poison your chances of finding the right fit. A-Players want clarity. Most hiring fails come from unclear expectations and poor accountability, not bad intentions. Conduct a "Bad Hire Autopsy." Ask three questions: What did they do wrong? What did I do wrong? What will we do differently next time? Emotional Autopsy matters. Feel it. Yell. Run. Vent. Then move on. The longer you obsess, the more power you give away. Quotes "You are walking around like some jilted lover. How long are you going to let a bad decision affect your next right decision?" "A bad hire costs you 15x their salary — not just in money, but in time, energy, and momentum." "Bad hires happen. It sucks. But the real mistake isn't hiring the wrong person — it's staying stuck there." Actionable Items Do the Bad Hire Autopsy: What went wrong? What was your part? What will change next time? Release the Baggage: Take a day to feel frustrated, then let it go. Don't bring "Samson" or "Sarah" into your next hiring conversation. Clarify A-Player Standards: Write a scorecard before hiring again — what does success look like in 90 days? Set Milestones & Accountability: Don't just yell "Run!" and forget to point which direction. A-players thrive on clear expectations. Don't Retreat Into "I'll Just Do It Myself." That's burnout disguised as control. Learn, pivot, and hire again. Hiring mistakes happen to every entrepreneur. The best leaders don't pretend otherwise — they just move on faster. "You don't have to be perfect to build a great team — you just have to stop camping at the scene of the last bad hire."

You're not powerless — you're powerful. But every time you blame someone or something else for where you are, you hand that power away like spare change. Welcome, Pivoter! In this episode, April tackles a hard truth: sometimes, the biggest thing standing between us and our goals isn't circumstance — it's our excuses. We dive deep into the concept of Radical Responsibility — the practice of owning every part of your life and business that you can control. Because until you do, you'll stay stuck in patterns of blame and frustration, waiting for external forces to change what only you can shift. What You'll Learn Internal Locus of Control: How your mindset around personal control shapes your entire life and business outcomes. Challenges vs. Excuses: How to acknowledge difficulty without using it as a reason to stay small. Where You've Given Away Power: The hidden ways we surrender control — to people, to fear, to the past — and how to take it back. Real-Life Examples: April breaks down powerful stories of leaders and business owners who reclaimed ownership and changed their outcomes. Radical Responsibility in Action: How to stop waiting for permission, stop assigning blame, and take powerful action today. The Villain in Your Story: What if the person holding you back the most… is you? Quotes “When we start thinking of these external things, we're giving away our power and not operating from a position of power.” — April [08:28] “We can't be waiting for someone to advance our life or business for us; the second we feel like our hands are tied, we're almost always the person who tied our own hands.” — April [16:28] Actionable Items Identify the Power Leaks: Write down the top three areas where you've been blaming someone or something else. Ask This Daily: “What's one action I can take today that's 100% within my control?” Reframe the Story: Replace “I can't because…” with “I will figure out how to…” Own the Next Step: Whether it's in your business, relationships, or health — claim the next move as yours. Radical Responsibility doesn't mean you caused every problem — it means you own your response to them. Power doesn't come from control; it comes from choice. “You're not a victim of your life. You're the designer of it.” ----------------

Let me tell you the most expensive hire you'll ever make—it's not the one with the highest salary. It's the wrong person you keep around too long. And if you think you can turn a C-player into an A-player with your already maxed-out schedule—you're living in a Disney movie, not running a business. Welcome, Pivoter! Today we're talking about A-players—why your small business can't afford not to hire them, how to attract them without corporate budgets, and why tolerating C-players is the fastest way to tank your team and your sanity. April shares a story about a client whose new hire made a $100,000 mistake—and the hard truth that followed: leadership is not optional. If you want to scale, grow, and protect your bottom line, you must learn how to identify, nurture, and protect your A-players.
You know what no one tells you about being a leader? It's lonely as hell. Everyone looks to you for answers, for calm, for direction — but where do you go when you're running on fumes? Welcome, Pivoter. Let's get real. In this raw and emotional episode, April takes us behind the scenes of Collaborate 2025, where high performers and leaders came together to do something rare — drop their armor. No posturing, no highlight reels, no pretending to “have it all together.” Just truth, connection, and conversations that matter. This is a reflection on what happens when leaders stop performing strength and start sharing it. When we stop leading alone. Key Takeaways Leadership Loneliness Is Real: Even the most successful leaders feel isolated. The myth of “figure it out alone” is what burns us out. Armor Down, Impact Up: True strength comes from vulnerability — not perfection. When we open up, we give others permission to do the same. Behind the Scenes at Collaborate: April shares the real moments from the event — the tears, the breakthroughs, the laughter — that reminded everyone they're not alone in the fight to lead well. Connection Is the 10X Multiplier: The biggest growth isn't from tactics or templates — it's from trusted rooms of peers who see you, challenge you, and lift you up. Redefining Leadership: The strongest leaders aren't the ones who never struggle — they're the ones who create safe spaces for others to be real too. Actionable Items Find Your Room: Surround yourself with people who call you up, not just cheer you on. Real connection beats performative success every time. Check Your Armor: Ask yourself, “Where am I pretending to have it together when I don't?” That's your growth edge. Build Regular Reflection Time: Leadership doesn't just happen in meetings — it happens in the quiet moments where you assess your truth. Model Openness: Your team doesn't need your perfection — they need your humanity. Collaborate 2025 wasn't just an event. It was a reminder that leadership without connection is unsustainable. The strongest leaders know when to lay down the shield, when to say, “me too,” and when to lean in for support. “Drop the mask. Keep the mission. You don't have to lead alone.”

In this talk, Rev Lee discusses that Change can be unsettling, but rest assured, there will be change. In fact, change is happening all the time. When we embrace uncertainty and understand that it is an opportunity for growth and expansion, when we trust ourselves, we naturally learn to pivot to deal with our ever-changing world.

Bienvenue sur la Radio Circulab (ex Activer l'Economie Circulaire) Cette semaine, Brieuc poursuit l'exploration des solutions existantes à la mobilité durable en France. Après l'épisode sur Lormauto et l'échange avec Luc Teerlinck où ils avaient évoqué les scooters Mob-ion, l'invitation était lancée. Alors très rapidement, Christian Bruère, un entrepreneur visionnaire qui a su mêler innovation, technologie et engagement écologique, se retrouve face au micro de Brieuc. Christian raconte l'histoire de la création de Mob-ion, un projet ambitieux démarré il y a plus de dix ans avec François Wettling. Ils ont innové en créant le premier garage de deux roues électriques. Christian, cofondateur d'Allo Resto, a tenté d'utiliser des scooters électriques dès 2007 pour la livraison de repas. Malgré l'échec initial dû aux batteries au plomb, cette expérience a posé les bases pour les futurs développements de Mob-ion. Mob-ion a fait le choix stratégique de se concentrer sur la mobilité de proximité, qui représente 90% des émissions de CO2. L'entreprise s'attaque donc à une part considérable du problème des émissions avec ses véhicules intermédiaires électriques. Ces véhicules sont parfaitement adaptés aux trajets courts et fréquents du quotidien. Mob-ion se démarque par son modèle économique axé sur la circularité. Les produits sont conçus pour être démontables, réparables et durables, ce qui les rend plus compétitifs à long terme par rapport à l'industrie linéaire traditionnelle. Ils s'assurent que ses véhicules restent fonctionnels et compétitifs sur une longue période. Face aux défis de la réindustrialisation en France, la compétitivité de la fabrication locale de Mob-ion peut rivaliser avec les importations en termes de coût grâce à son modèle circulaire. Mob-ion a ouvert ses portes aux particuliers et cherche à étendre sa présence à travers la France. Ils recherchent également des investisseurs pour continuer à soutenir leur développement. Pour 50€ / mois, il est possible de se déplacer autour de chez soi, de façon plus vertueuse dans tous les sens du terme !

Interview with Sarah Kameta"The Pivoter", Was an Olympic focused figure skater. At an early age she found the necessity of drive and determination.Sarah took these components to help her career in the business aviation industry. She had it all pay, perks, executive living, and marriage but as she evolved things didn't change but she was. She found that, "things, " weren't making her happy. As she puts it: "Choosing significance, every day. As a leader. As a friend. As a human being." that's what makes her whole.Now Sarah is a professional speaker, coach and podcaster who gives her audience, "New ideas on life, leadership and how you make choices."Website:Shaker of the Status Quo | Professional Speaker | Aviation (sarahkalmeta.com)LinkedIn:(4) Sarah (the Pivoter) Kalmeta | LinkedInInstagram:Sarah Kalmeta (@sarahthepivoter) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter:(4) Sarah Kalmeta | The PIVOT is Your Superpower (@SarahThePivoter) / X (twitter.com)Eric Reyes: Host of Hey Coach!

“Lancer, c'est dur. On a essayé de faire le lancement le plus théorique, et ça n'a pas marché. Si c'était à refaire, on opterait pour un lancement plus itératif. Tu mets ton app en ligne et au fur et à mesure que les gens téléchargent, tu analyses comment elle est utilisée, la rétention, etc.” La patience a du bon, dans l'e-commerce comme dans les podcasts. Après 6 mois d'attente, Laurent Kretz rencontre enfin Vincent Dupuy, le cofondateur de Choose. Aujourd'hui, Choose est une application mobile de curation des meilleures marques. Mais ça n'a pas toujours été le cas ! Dans ce nouvel épisode, on va s'intéresser au pivot opéré par l'entreprise en 2018 et à la bonne recette pour changer de business modèle en embarquant les marques et ses utilisateurs. Un pari gagnant, puisque l'application génère aujourd'hui entre 10 et 20 millions de CA et a multiplié ses effectifs par 10. Avec ce primo-entrepreneur au background d'ingénieur, Laurent va également décortiquer les enseignements opérationnels, tech et en matière d'internationalisation de Choose. Ensemble, ils expliquent comment résister aux sirènes des métriques de vanité, coder 2 applications en une et se constituer un catalogue qui reflète les valeurs de ses clients.

As the host of She Pivots, Emily Tisch Sussman loves sharing stories about women and their successes—but her own story is as fascinating, if not more so, than the brilliant people she interviews. Political strategist, media maven, mom, and podcaster Emily joins Alisha to discuss how kids can kill a career, staying motivated, and whether purple-haired girls have more fun (spoiler: they do). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
