This week's episode

How to take control of your career trajectory

"Even if you're in a shitty situation...there is something to be gained from it."

– Erika Ayers Baden

This was supposed to go out on Tuesday but I was in Vancouver and Seattle filming the final episodes for Season 1 so this is a few days late.

But I promise this episode was worth the wait.

In Episode 6 I’m joined by Erika Ayers Badan - former CEO of Barstool Sports, current CEO of Food52, board member at VICE Media, podcast host, and the author of Nobody Cares About Your Career.

Erika took Barstool from scrappy outsider to a $550M powerhouse with 5 billion monthly video views and 225 million followers, and now she’s teaching us how to take charge of our own career trajectory.

We’ll be talking about what it means to make your own luck at work, why no one cares about your career as much as you do, and the real lessons Erika learned in the rooms where the biggest decisions get made.

​Check out the episode and let me know what you think!
