This season of Beyond the 3 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: Beauty has been talking to founders of beauty companies about 4 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: how they started, why they started, what they're struggling with. 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: And I wanted to do this season based on these 6 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: amazing founders because I was about to launch my new 7 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: brand and not only do I give them advice, they 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: have given me a ton of advice and have been 9 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: mentors to me. So I love talking to people that 10 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: have done it differently than I know, and I also 11 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: love sharing what I know. And it's been a really 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: interesting season talking to all these different you know, founders 13 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: of beauty brands, you know, some women, some guys, some 14 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: natural companies, some not and even you know pioneers who 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: have been in the space before me. And I love 16 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: mostly being able to understand how people do things, how 17 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: they do it differently. And I just think it's really 18 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: important for people out there that want to start their 19 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: own businesses just to hear other stories so a you 20 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: could relate or maybe you can get inspired. I'm someone 21 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: that likes to not only talk about being an entrepreneur, 22 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: but I really love to talk when it means to 23 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: be a woman, what it means to be a mother, 24 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: what it means to be a friend, you know how 25 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: that defines you. And I'm constantly working on myself and 26 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to the next season, which is 27 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,279 Speaker 1: why I want to talk to my next guest, a Julie, 28 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: who is a a friend who I actually met when 29 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: I was doing a speech and she was running the 30 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: event at Google. Was it a women's group? What was it? So? 31 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: I don't remember who, um who had formally extended the 32 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: invitation to you, but it was probably women at Google, 33 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: which I was on the steering committee of UM. So, yeah, 34 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: that was that was. It was a while ago, so 35 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: I did it, but I got, you know, much more 36 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: than I thought, which was this long friendship where you 37 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: came up to me afterwards and you were such a 38 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: cool like you were the you know, the head of 39 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: legal at Google, like you were just not some kids 40 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: sitting in the audience, and then and then we became friends. 41 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: And then when my son was looking for work after college, 42 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: you mentored him. Yeah, it was incredible. I mean, I'm 43 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: so grateful that I went to that talk and uh 44 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: and got to meet you there, and I had always 45 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: been a long adviirer of your brand and what you 46 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: had built, and you know, certainly as a girl of 47 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: color at a certain time, UM, you were the O G. 48 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: I mean that was that was what introduced me to 49 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: make up, was your line and feeling like I could 50 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: feel beautiful at a time when everything else that I 51 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: was seeing in media, I was telling you that I 52 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: was not the standard of beauty and being able to 53 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: find things that worked for me was huge. And then 54 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: hearing your story, I was like, she is the coolest, 55 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: Like I just want to know her. And I was 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: really embarrassed that afterwards that I did that to you, 57 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: because I never just like bum rush somebody like that 58 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: that I just felt this immediate connection to you, to 59 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: your story, how you talked about your family. We're both 60 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: from Chicago, so I think there were just so many 61 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: synergies and I really felt compelled to do that, and 62 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever done that, Like I was 63 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: really kind of mortified later, but I'm glad it worked out. 64 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: But but that is that is in your nature to 65 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: do that, because you are you know, you say you're 66 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: these things, but you're all also very fearless and incredibly 67 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: inspirational and interesting. So you know, I just wanted to 68 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: spend a second. I'm like, I can't even like remember 69 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: every little thing you've done, But what did you do 70 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: before Google? Okay, so my career is a bit of 71 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: a windy groad. So I started. I'm a lawyer by training, 72 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: as you mentioned. Um, So I started my career post 73 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: law school living in London at a big New York 74 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: law firm called Sherman and Sterling. I spent a few 75 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: years there, and I went there and spent two years 76 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: in the London office, traveling over Europe, came back to 77 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: the New York office, and then about a year into 78 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: my time in New York, um that Not eleven happened. 79 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: And when I came back to New York, I always 80 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: knew that I didn't want to stay at a big 81 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: firm forever. I sort of tripped into that job. But 82 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: Not eleven was a big wake up call. And I 83 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: always had a very strong bleeding heart, you know, I 84 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: was a very I had a strong impetus to do 85 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: good in the world, and so that was kind of 86 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: the kick in the pants I needed to go do it. 87 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: So I left Sherman and Sterling and went to the 88 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: Robin Hood Foundation, so that Bright and me up, I 89 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: didn't know that. Yeah, So I and three years of 90 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: robin Foundation doing sort of consulting work essentially for the 91 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: grand recipients of Robin Hood. And it was an extraordinary time, UM, 92 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: really important work. It was really part of the fabric 93 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: of the city and the rebuild of the city. So 94 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: it was really humbling to be a part of that 95 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: very on the ground. But I wasn't practicing law there 96 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: and then I kind of realized I missed the law, 97 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: which I never thought would be wars that would come 98 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: out of my mouth. And so I ended up at 99 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: a recently started nonprofit called Acumen Fund, which is not 100 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: called Acumen. I went there as a general council and 101 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: so helped us set up our offices in India and 102 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: focus on and you know, just figuring out how to 103 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: do these grounds and equity investments in different companies and 104 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: nonprofits around the world. Um. And then after a few 105 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: years there, I was recruited to Google. So Acumen was 106 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: a big grand recipient Google when Google dot org first started, 107 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: and I honestly had no idea what I was doing 108 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: there when I walked in there. I was like, I 109 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: don't understand how the interne at works. I don't understand 110 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: how Google makes money. I was really clueless walking into 111 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: that job, but it worked out great and I ended 112 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: up loving it. I stayed there for many years, and 113 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: then you went to Warby Parker and then I went 114 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: to Eary Parker. Yeah. So funny enough, one of the 115 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: founders of Warby Parker knew me from my time and acumen, 116 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: and so when I was at GC there he was 117 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: running one of the nonprofits right out of college that 118 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: we funded, and we ran into each other at a 119 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: conference um and he came up to me and was like, 120 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: you know, do you remember me. I'm doing this thing now. 121 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: It's like, good for you. I didn't wear glasses. I 122 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: really didn't understand the pain point. I didn't understand what 123 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: you're building. But then he reached out to me when 124 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: I was at Google for about six years and he 125 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: was like, hey, would you would you talk to me 126 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: about this position. We're thinking about hiring a general counsel 127 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 1: and we'd like that to be you. But the pattern 128 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: is that you don't know what you're doing when you 129 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: take these jobs, and you just go in and you 130 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: figure it out. Yeah, that's very much a pattern. And 131 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: it's funny because, especially as a lawyer, I think that's 132 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: not typical because usually you're as a lawyer, paid for 133 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: what you already know, and then you do that again 134 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: and again, and you sort of double down on the 135 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: expertise and just get to charge more and more for 136 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: that expertise. And what I found is a that's not 137 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: fun for me. So I'm happy to do it to 138 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: a point, but I get bored really easily doing that. Um, 139 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: And I think there's way better lawyers than me. Frankly. 140 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: I think there's like people who are so good at 141 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: what they do with the legal stuff, and they really 142 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: love the nuances and the weeds of the law. But 143 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: I like, you know, figuring it out, untangling the spaghetti, 144 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: and then passing off to somebody else who can do 145 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: it again and again and then moving on to the 146 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: next thing, because how long will you or be I 147 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: was there three years, three years, and then you went 148 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: to well, then I left because I got a book deal. 149 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: So I ended up writing a book which had nothing 150 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: to do with any of this stuff. And the name, 151 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: the name of the book the book is called Stocking 152 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: God my unorthodox search for something to believe in. And 153 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: it is funny. It is, it is honestly, it's a 154 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: comedy as you are hysterical, you're you're one of those 155 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: like bright, bright brains, but super funny. No, I appreciate that, 156 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: thank you. That's the goal. Yeah, it was a really 157 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: fun project. I had come up with this idea with 158 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: my daughter, who just turned eleven, if you can believe it. Um, 159 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: I think she was like three when you and I 160 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: got home. Yeah, um, so she just turned eleven. But 161 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: when she was born, I realized that I didn't really 162 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: know what I believed about religion and spirituality and sort 163 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: of the big questions in life that you couldn't google 164 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: and answer to. But I realized that Zia is my name, 165 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: that she would one day soon be asking me all 166 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,599 Speaker 1: kinds of things I didn't know, and so maybe I 167 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: would try to figure it out. So it started as 168 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: just a little project. I would go and meet like 169 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: a cookie healer, or I would go to like some 170 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: spiritual thing and do little things around the city. And 171 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: then it sort of took on a life of its 172 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: own and turned into this project. Um, and it's sort 173 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: of before everybody was meditating. You know, It's like that 174 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: stuff was super mainstream, um, at least in my circles, 175 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: and so I still felt like I was a little 176 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: out there doing this, but I was willing to try. 177 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: And I think what people responded to is like I 178 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: told the stories that like cock told parties and never funny, 179 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: and my friends would laugh. And then people are just like, 180 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: you have to write the stuff down, like there's something here. 181 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: And then it turned into a book and then you've 182 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: had one more job before we go into your new life, right, 183 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: you had one more gig, which is at Chat. Yes. Correct. 184 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: So once as my book was coming out, I think 185 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: when I finished the book, I literally turned in the 186 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: final draft and an old colleague from Google who had 187 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: started Chatter transponed board. He reached out to me and 188 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: was like, you know, we're building this thing. It was 189 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: sort of the same things that we're building this thing, um, 190 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: would you come talk to us and we think we 191 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: need a chief people officer. That's how the conversation started. 192 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know that stuff, but yeah, 193 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: I have nothing that knew. I'm happy to chat. And 194 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: when he was telling me what they were doing, I 195 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: was like I was it's pretty interesting, and I know 196 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: nothing about the news world or media in that way. 197 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: A part of my time working on YouTube stuff, and 198 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I'm curious. Sure, I'm happy 199 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: to do this. And I love culture. I think that 200 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: stuff is really important. How you treat employees, what how 201 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: to get the best from people, Diversity, inclusion, all those 202 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: issues were things that I was super interested in. UM 203 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: so I took the job. And then this also became 204 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: a pattern where they kind of through in the second job, like, oh, 205 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: can you also be our general counsel? Was like yeah, sure, 206 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: so I was doing sort of that very womanly way 207 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: too for the price of one. And and do you 208 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: have people that you call and discuss this with? Is 209 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: it your husband? Is it you want to say, Well, 210 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: we've never had the financial discussion. You know, That's what 211 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's a really good point. The financial discussions 212 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: are hard for me. It's so interesting. I'm really trying 213 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: to work that muscle and get better at it. Um 214 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: I wasn't you know. I was definitely raised with that 215 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: generation where it's just not polite to talk about money. 216 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: You just you don't ask those questions. I don't know like, 217 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: it's all this stuff that I know is wrong, and 218 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: I would advise anybody else not to take that advice. 219 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: I think that's definitely a hard thing, and I know 220 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: it's hard for women. It's definitely hard, and I wish 221 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: it weren't true. And I'm really trying to get better 222 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: because the only way it gets better for all of 223 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: us is if we all are sharing the math and 224 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: really understanding, like, hey, but I've gotten better about certain things, 225 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: Like I will when friends are telling you, like for 226 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: speaking engagements and that kind of thing, and like they're 227 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: paying you what you need to be asking for four 228 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: times that, and I'm like, well, and then I will 229 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: tell them this is what I got paid when I 230 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: do a keno. When you are way way more popular 231 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: than you have way more expertise on issue acts like 232 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: you're the Michael Jordan, I'll blank, you should be paid accordingly. 233 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: And um, I think that's helped all of us be 234 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: more transparent. So much of what you do, it's like 235 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: a snowball. You know, you do one thing and that 236 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: takes on and it just keeps growing. So your book 237 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: is also the gift that keeps on giving. Is it 238 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: true that your ted talk. You've got four million? How 239 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: many people I haven't looked? Well, I have to go. 240 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: It's over for me, and I thing over four million 241 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: people have senior type Yeah, that's unbelievable. Isn't that crazy? Yeah? 242 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: It's crazy. So so what was it like doing a 243 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: Ted Talk? It was incredible. It was an out of 244 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: body experience. I mean, I was so humble to be 245 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: asked to do it. And then I got really in 246 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: my head about what should I talk about. I was like, well, 247 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: I have to, you know, talk about saving the world, 248 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: and I have to talk about business and social good 249 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: through business and like all these things that I care about. 250 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know why I didn't occur to me 251 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: right off the bat, just to talk about this journey 252 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: that I went on for this book that was coming out. 253 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: And finally I was like, oh, you know what I 254 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: have to do is just tell a really great story. 255 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: That's what I have to do because I'm not an 256 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: expert at blank. I didn't discover a cure for cancer, 257 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: like I don't have that guy, which is a lot 258 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: of what Ted talks are um. So I was like, 259 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell something that I am uniquely qualified 260 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: to talk about, which is my journey on this particular topic. 261 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: Um So that's what I did. So I just told 262 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: the story of my attempts to sort of find religion 263 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: and spirituality and the answers to the big questions in life. 264 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: Um and that I failed at it miserably. But then 265 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: the you know, kind of cut away at the end 266 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: was that, but here's what I found instead, which was 267 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: that everybody, regardless of their religious affiliation, of their socio 268 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: economic background, if anything, we're all looking for the same 269 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: three things which in my research, my my qualitative research 270 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: um or health, happiness, and love. And so I kind 271 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: of take people through that journey health, happiness, and love. 272 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly though, that's like the essence of probably 273 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: why we connected, Like those are those are three things 274 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: that are very important to me, you know, and the 275 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: reason you know, the next season of my podcast, I've 276 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: been thinking a lot about where I want to take 277 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: it and what I want to do, and for the 278 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: third season, I realized that my my passion right now 279 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: is helping people. I mean, it always has been. It's 280 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: it's empowering, encouraging, making people, allowing people to learn how 281 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: to feel comfortable in their skin, which that's confident and 282 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: just the whole empowerment thing, you know. Being Look, I 283 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: was a working mother, you know, I was a commuting mother, 284 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: and I just really think that we need to build 285 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: our community. And I just thought who better to have 286 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: these conversations than you. You're the only person I thought 287 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: of than you know, and you also have this amazing 288 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: network of cool women that you know, have stories to 289 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: tell and have ways to inspire other people. So well, 290 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: I'm excited and I feel like you and me and 291 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: a roll, a dux and a telephone, we could we 292 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: could solve any problems. I think the two of us, 293 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: we will, you know, will turn it into something else. 294 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: So let's do you know, I do believe that you're 295 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: stronger together than you are alone. I love a collaboration. 296 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: I think, you know. It's um It's funny when you 297 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: when I go through all the things that I've done, 298 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of it's just because I've done things 299 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: for shorter amounts of time, Like I didn't run a 300 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: company like you did for twenty five years. That was 301 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: my own brand that I felt, you know, it's a 302 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: different thing. I've been mostly an operator working for somebody 303 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: else's vision UM. But my favorite times at any of 304 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: those places, or side projects or any of it is 305 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: always in a collaboration because I love the give and 306 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: take of that. I love the exchange of ideas. I 307 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: don't want to be the smartest person in the room. 308 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to be a very middle of the pack 309 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: and learned from everyone around me. And so UM, that's 310 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: so fun to get that advice from people and people 311 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: like you.

It's 340 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: very early stages, but uh, you know from which cross 341 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: I think there's so much room for content, as we've 342 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: seen in the past year. So this podcast is all 343 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: about what people could learn from the people that inspire me. 344 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: And you are here because you inspire me, Like, what 345 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: do you think that our listeners could learn from you? 346 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: And where you've been to where they are, well, I 347 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: hope they can learn that not knowing what you're doing 348 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: is actually a strength, not a weakness. Like going into things, 349 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: um with a bit of a beginner's mindset and staying 350 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: open two things I think can really put you in 351 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: a position of strength. I think we have a culture 352 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: that really overvalues expertise and a way that um, you know, 353 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: it's great obviously you want to be an expert at stuff, 354 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 1: but a fresh perspective without carrying a lot of um 355 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: kind of preconsilt notions about what's possible and what's not possible, 356 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: can make you do things really really differently. And so 357 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: I think you can do that sort of as a company, 358 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: but even as a person and the way you approach 359 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: your work. I think it's really important. And what kind 360 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: of fearful things have you overcome in your career. I 361 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: think I'm getting better at advocating for myself. So it 362 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: sort of what we were talking about earlier, just you know, 363 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: setting up what I need to be successful, making sure 364 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: I asked about things that I'm concerned about before taking 365 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: a position or before working with somebody, are taking on 366 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: a client, and that's not something I was always so 367 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: good at Like, so I think even when I left Google, 368 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: initially I my daughter was about three and I was 369 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: going to Warby Parker and the team, you know, the 370 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: senior team I thought was all single, no kids. That 371 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: didn't end up being the case, but I would never 372 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: have asked them about how they think about, you know, 373 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: working parents and what sort of flexibility they offer an 374 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: a that kind of thing, had you not pushed me 375 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: to frankly so, because I remember we had a conversation 376 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: right before I was deciding, and You're like, is there 377 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: anything left unset is or anything that you're still concerned about? 378 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: And I raised this issue with you and I said, well, 379 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: you know, my daughter is only three. Um, I think 380 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: this is it. You first encouraged me to have more kids, 381 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: and I was like, did my mom call you? And 382 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: was like I gave that just um. But then I 383 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: was like, well, I'm concerned about this one piece because 384 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: I have incredible flexibility at Google. I've earned a lot 385 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: of goodwill and trust there and so I can do 386 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, I can kind of do what I need 387 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: to do and be there for my child and then 388 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: also be really effective at work. And so I'm nervous 389 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: about going into this senior position at a small, you know, 390 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: a fast growing startup, and what does that look like 391 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: if my daughter is only three And she's like, well, 392 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: you have to ask a question. You said to me, 393 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: you have to ask a question. I was like, I 394 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: can't do what I can't you know, wait after I've 395 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: been there a couple of year, then I'll ask you, like, 396 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: you have to ask the question. I was like, okay, 397 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stuck it up and ask the question. 398 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: And so what happened? What always the old women? To 399 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: all one of the founders, and he was like, oh 400 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm so glad you asked. Of course, whatever 401 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: you need, you know, you should talk to Lan or cto. 402 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: He's got kids and you know, whatever you need and 403 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: whatever flexibility you need, of course will be supportive of 404 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: all that. We love family, you know, we we all 405 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: want kids. Like he was really so gracious about it, 406 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: and he said all the right things, and I was like, oh, 407 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: thank god I asked, because I would have been so 408 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: nervous going in and I think it would have taken 409 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: me a really long time to build up the nerve 410 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: to um to have that flexibility to ask for it. 411 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: So things like that I think we're really important, Like 412 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: ask for what you need before you go into something, 413 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: and then if they say no, you have to go 414 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: home and decide exactly. At least you haven't answered, You're 415 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: not like wondering what the answer is. Yeah, because they 416 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: usially could have been like nope, for her eight a m. 417 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: Until ten pm. We expect you on seven and that's 418 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: the deal. And then that's a different answer and that's okay, 419 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: that's okay too, and that could be the expectation, but um, 420 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been right for me. So what would 421 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 1: you say to someone that's having issues in their career 422 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: right now where they're stuck at at a job they're 423 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: not happy with, or they're trying to get their business 424 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: off the ground. What kind of encouragement and advice would 425 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: you give people? So these are these are pretty unusual times, 426 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: which I think makes my answer a little bit different 427 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: because I do recognize that obviously, the security of a job, 428 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: the challenges of the current job market, working from home, 429 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: all those kinds of things make it really difficult to 430 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: make a big job switch in this time or to 431 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: launch a new idea. Um But that said, I think, 432 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: if anything, or if nothing else, this past year has 433 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: really taught us that life is super super short, and 434 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: you really want to spend your time doing things that 435 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: you love with people that you respect and that respect you. 436 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: So I would encourage you to start thinking about what 437 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: that really looks like for you and telling people and 438 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: asking around and finding the right environment. I think, you know, 439 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: what I've found is that it almost doesn't matter what 440 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: you're working on if you're doing it with people that 441 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: you really enjoy working with. And so I think that's 442 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: the biggest, biggest lesson that I've had just over the 443 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: course of my career, and certainly the past years proven 444 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: that time and time again. So I would stay focus 445 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: on the people first. And I would also say make 446 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: sure you have a posse totally, make sure you have 447 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: people you could talk to you're not by yourself. Yeah, 448 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 1: I think that's right. Like a tribe of people. I've 449 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: heard friends referred to them for referred to their posse 450 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 1: as like their board of advisors or personal board of advisors, 451 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: And I think there is something to that of having 452 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: people around you. I actually do this for my daughter 453 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: um every year on her birthday, I gift her what 454 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: we call a wise woman, and so it's somebody from 455 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: our lives some time she knows them really well. Sometimes 456 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: there's somebody from my life that I think would be 457 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: an incredible mentor and person for her to know and 458 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: to be close to and just to have a relationship 459 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: with in some way because of whatever she's into that year, 460 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: or whatever she's really excited about, or just shortcomings that 461 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: I find in myself, frankly, because I know that I 462 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: can't be everything for her, and I know that there 463 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: will be times that she does not want to come 464 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: to me for advice, and so I want her to 465 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: feel like she's got a lot of trusted women in 466 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: particular around her that she has access to and that 467 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: she has an independent relationship with from me. So I 468 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: think it's kind of like creating that for her now 469 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: at age eleven, um, so that she has that. But 470 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: it took me a long time to figure out that 471 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: I needed that for myself too, So I think it's 472 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: because I was doing it for myself that I started 473 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: doing it for her. That's a that's a very cool thing. 474 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: So would you also tell everyone where they can get 475 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: more of you, where they could find you?
