Laura Brown Is Reclaiming The Narrative on Getting Fired

Season 1 · Episode 4

Monday, August 19, 2024 • Duration 57:42

Laura Brown has been a fixture of fashion media for over two decades, since arriving in New York from her native Australia. She was the creative force behind Harper’s Bazaar for 11 years before joining InStyle as the publication’s Editor-in-Chief where she continued to work her magic, notably leading the publication through the pandemic. Then in 2022, she was ceremoniously “eliminated”—AKA fired.

Today, she’s the founder of LB Media and is working on releasing her first book with co-author and former Editor-in-Chief of WSJ Magazine, Kristina O’Neill. The aptly titled All The Cool Girls Get Fired releases January 2026, but first, Laura joins Sali to share her own career story, including:

the power of being “guileless.”
building a career in fashion.
the forthcoming All The Cool Girls Get Fired.
what to do if you suddenly lose your job.
and releasing shame and embracing a world of opportunity.

Symone Sanders-Townsend on Breaking Down Barriers and Why Her Nails Aren't Going Anywhere

Season 1 · Episode 2

Monday, July 22, 2024 • Duration 52:16

Symone Sanders-Townsend is the embodiment of speaking truth to power. Whether in her role as the host of MSNBC’s The Weekend or on her own social media accounts, Symone has become a go-to source for navigating the country’s rapidly changing (and often alarming) news cycle.

She first came to prominence as the national press secretary for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign when she was just 25 years old, before joining President Joe Biden’s campaign as a senior advisor in 2020, and eventually becoming the chief spokesperson and senior advisor for Vice President Kamala Harris. Though she’s still usually one of the youngest among her professional peers, her experience in politics and media is remarkable, as is her ability to distill breaking news for the masses.

In this episode of Work Friends, she shares more about how her career has played out, in front of and behind the camera lens, including:

experiencing imposter syndrome.
learning to dream BIG, and encouraging young girls to, as well.
the many emails she receives about her signature nails.
“unhinged” work moments (because who hasn’t had one?)
breaking down barriers and overcoming discrimination.

Plus, she answers a question from a Work Friends listener!

Season 1 · Episode 1

Monday, July 8, 2024 • Duration 49:30

Meet Betsy Beers, the Executive Producer of Shondaland. For over 20 years, Beers has been helping to fuel our collective cultural obsessions by producing shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder, and, of course, Bridgerton. But Betsy’s path was not without roadblocks—and she hardly knew what a producer even did before she became one. Join her and Sali as they get into it all, including:

saying goodbye to being an actress and learning to be a producer.
surviving sexist job interviews.
meeting her long-time creative partner, Shonda Rhimes.
making Grey's Anatomy and why it was "hell."
the importance of being a mentor, and a mentee.

Anjali Sud on Rejection, Impatience, and Success on her Own Terms

Season 1 · Episode 6

Monday, September 16, 2024 • Duration 51:26

Anjali Sud is the CEO of Tubi, the free streaming platform that houses the world’s largest library of movies and TV series. Since she’s taken the helm last year, the platform has hit a record number of viewers. But Tubi is far from Anjali’s first rodeo as far as CEO tenures go.

She first stepped into the coveted role several years ago at Vimeo when she was just 33 years old, and successfully transformed the business: turning it from a video streaming site into a software company. But it was definitely not a smooth ride to the top. Anjali shares it all on this week’s episode, including:

her upbringing in Flint, Michigan and how it’s shaped her view of business.
getting turned down by nearly every investment banking job she applied to.
finding power in being impatient and vulnerable.
debunking myths about becoming a CEO (twice!), and being a working mother.

Malika Andrews on Meteoric Success & the Truth About Luck

Season 1 · Episode 7

Monday, September 30, 2024 • Duration 53:47

In today’s episode, Sali—Argent’s resident NBA superfan—is joined by Malika Andrews, journalist and host of ESPN’s NBA Today and NBA Countdown. Malika stands out in a league all her own. In 2018 she was named one of the youngest-ever sideline broadcast reporters; in 2021, she was the youngest person to host the NBA Finals Trophy ceremony; and in 2022, she was the first woman to host the NBA Draft on ESPN. And she won an Emmy that year, too.

While age is just a number, it’s worth mentioning that Malika has achieved all this while still under 30 years old. This week, Sali chats with her about her incredible meteoric rise and some of the things you may not find on her resume, like:

the truth about how she picked her college major.
finding mentors in truly unexpected ways.
navigating imposter syndrome early in her career, and today.
the significance of making history and honoring the women who paved the way.
and why she practices self-kindness. Always.

Melissa Winter On What It Means to Be Michelle Obama's Chief of Staff

Season 1 · Episode 8

Monday, October 14, 2024 • Duration 55:58

Our next guest, Melissa Winter, has a career that’s so remarkable and, yet, hard to pin down. In fact, that’s the point. Melissa has been the Chief of Staff to former First Lady Michelle Obama for the past seven years. She first joined Mrs. Obama’s staff 17 years ago when President Obama was a Senator in Chicago, and would go on to serve all eight years of the Obama White House administration as Deputy Chief of Staff.

Since 2017, Melissa has moved away from public service and started a new chapter working with The Obama Organization, Higher Ground Productions, and When We All Vote.

She is the ultimate get. it. done. professional, who ensures everything in the background operates smoothly so her principal can meet her goals. But Melissa never expected to be here and on this episode of Work Friends she tells us all about it, including:

the very unexpected internship that brought her to D.C.
why she didn’t want to work for Mrs. Obama, and what changed her mind.
what a Chief of Staff job actually looks like.
the life-changing experience of entering, and exiting, the White House.
and the vital work she’s focused on at When We All Vote.

In this episode, Sali is joined by Huma Abedin who, for over 25 years, has worked alongside Secretary Hillary Clinton in a number of leadership roles.

Today, Huma continues her work with Secretary Clinton, but has paved a unique career path as a New York Times bestseller, co-host of Morning Mika, MSNBC contributor, and, through her work with the annual Forbes 30/50 Summit and Vital Voices Global Partnership, a staunch advocate for women’s ambition. Huma has led a storied career and shares so much of it in today’s conversation, including:

her childhood overseas and earliest understandings of feminism and equality.
her first White House internship where she was assigned to the First Lady’s office.
overcoming feelings of self-doubt and being unqualified.
how Anna Wintour encouraged her to write her memoir, Both/And.
how she learned to be the central character in her own play.
