  Speaker 6: Who Oh my god, yes, wait a second, you guys,
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: this woman right here is a Hall of Fame inducted marketer.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Hello, that's not easy to do.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: That's right, that's right.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, especially as a woman in the corporate world.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, climbing that ladder is not easy. And you've
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: done it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Girl, I got callouss.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's approving claw marks, right.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Look, everything has my nails in it. I love it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I love it so much.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: I wanted to ask you, what would you say has
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: been the biggest challenge for you as you came to
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: this place where you are right now?
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Hmmmm? Well, I think, like many people, you know, you
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: see somebody successful and you're like, oh, okay, I want
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: to be like them, right, and maybe you look at
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the way that they dress, maybe the way they talk,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: maybe the way they do their hair, maybe the way
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: they to rap, And you think, okay, let me pattern
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: myself around that, because then I have a better chance
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: of being successful. Right.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Are you talking like a mentor?
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: No, I'm just talking about this, like looking at people
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: who are successful. So when I first started out in marketing,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: my first real marketing job was at PepsiCo, and you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: I looked into the corner office at the CMO and
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I was like, hmm, he looks nothing like me. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: not only did he look nothing like me, but he
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: didn't talk like me. He didn't behave like me. Look,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I use my hands. I clearly like to have my
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: stomach out. You know what I'm saying. I'm not afraid
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: of my breasts either. That's good. And I also pull
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: a lot from pop culture.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: It's like I know where Angelina Jolie's third child was born.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: All right, useless pieces of information, but I love it,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: all right. I consume pop culture heavily.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I don't do that at all.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Oh girl, I know nothing about that.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: No, I know everything. Look, if there was a pop
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: culture Jeopardy, I would win, no grand champion right here. Okay,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I'm too nosy for my own good. So the person
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: in that corner office was data driven.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: He had short hair slipped back. He wore gray suits
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: every day with a blue button down. Child. I don't
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: know anything like that, you know, in meetings, he was
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: very measured, whereas I'm very passionate. I'll cry too, you
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: know what I mean. And so coming up, I think
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: the hardest thing was accepting the fact that I would
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: never be him, and knowing that I could achieve success anyway,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: and I could do it my way. But I won't
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: pretend like it was some sort of hero tale. You know.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: I got some really bad reviews early on, and I
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: was sitting there. Did you think that? Yeah, girl, well
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I gave up, you know, So that's I said. It's
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: not a hero Say yeah, I fell down. You don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: lay down on the ground crying like I'll never get
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: out of the middle, you know. And I, honest I
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: think that's what saved me, because I went to the
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: office the next day a friend who was sitting in
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: a cubicle next to me, who is still my friend
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: to this day, Zach Harris. Okay, hey, Zach, exactly, thank you, Zach.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I came in and Zach is perfect, you know, Zach
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: looks exactly the part. Ok. And I walk in and
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I had on leather pants and a flower top because
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: I was like, well, if they're gonna say I'm you know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I'm not, I can't make it because I talk a
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: certain way, I look a certain way, and these reviews
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: are coming even though the work is good. Then I
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: might as well just show up as myself because I'm okay,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: I'll be here in the middle. And I walk in
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: and Zach was like, bos, what are you doing? You know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: he was like so terrified for me, but at the
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: same time he was like, you look good. I was like,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: hild I know. And I went into the next meeting
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: and I just think that all of my inhibitions were gone,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: you know, because I was no longer trying to serve
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: that image that was completely impossible for me to achieve,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: and my brilliance came out better.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, right, when you're true to your authentical So.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: That was the hardest thing was coming into myself that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: There anybody that told you you can't do this? Or
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: of course, yeah, who which.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: One you me? The name? Yeah, exactly A You're gonna
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: go find them? Yeah, you know, it's funny. I was
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: asked once about like the best piece of advice I
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: ever got, and I was like, you know, I had
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: a very well intentioned woman, boss Ones, who gave me
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: some advice. I was terrible.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: She said, as you can see, I'm pretty out there.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: And she was like, you know, don't wear red lipstick
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: or wear red and they a polish in the office
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: or too important meetings. Okay, no, because it signals that
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: maybe you're not as serious. Oh, you're just too Yeah,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: you're just flamboyant. Yeah, you know, it's like you need
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: to tone everything down. Okay.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: I don't like her already.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: And the thing is, I will say, you know, I
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: think she was well intentioned, it was just terrible advice
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: because again back to my earlier point, I think sometimes
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: we think fashion or the way you appear as superficial
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: and it's not. You know, a lot of times it's
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: like if you feel like you look good, then you
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: walk around like it, you know. And so it's like
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: for me, saying those types of things to me just
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: made me feel like I was too much, too bold,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: too loud, and I wanted to quiet myself. But then
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: it ended up silencing me.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: How did you get past the silencing of yourself? Because
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: I've been there too, and it's hard.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: It's really really hard. Well, because you want to be liked.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I think all of us you don't want to be
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: in a situation where you know people are looking at
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: you and they're just like, oh God, every time she
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: opens her mouth, just stupidity rolls out. You know, none
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: of us want to feel that, and I think that
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: we sometimes shy away from saying the truth of that.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: You know, it's not necessarily like the evil people. Please
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: are like stereotype that sometimes people get and then it's like,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: oh my god, you're the worst thing ever. Don't do that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: You know, you got to be strong and blah blah,
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, no, no, you can. You can be
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: strong and also not want people to not like you.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. You can. You can you
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: are Yes, you can be who you are. You can
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: be strong, you can be opinionated, you can be successful
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: and still want people to cheer when you walk in.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: You know, there's nothing wrong with that. And so for me,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I think part of my shift was in being so
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: true to who I am, so to the point about
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: loving pop culture. Oh, I'd go into meetings, I'd be
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: talking about everything that just happened, you know what I mean.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: So I became that person who always had her pulse
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: on the finger, my finger on the pulse of everything
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: that was happening, and so people would be like, oh
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: my god, go ask bos go ask her if it's cool.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: And then I became that person and I was like, yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I know, because I am cool, and you know, it's
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: like so I could own that, and therefore I wasn't
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: trying to be anything else. You know, if you want
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: the data collection person, I promise you says it's not me.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: You know. They're like, yeah, if you want to know
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: if that's cute, and it'll feel if it on sault,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: people come ask me. I'll let you know. I love
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: that about you.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Now I feel even better about when you complimented my suit.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Oh girl, Okay, so this is what actually said. It
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: was a compliment, but it was also a threat.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah it was.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I said, if I didn't respect her so much, I'll
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: just knock her down backstage and take the suit and
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: run off.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Okay, now that leads me to my next question.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: That was my language.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I love it so from the boardroom reality TV girl.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: What a switch? How I don't get it?
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: How's that?
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: How what happened? How'd you get there?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: How?
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: How has that influenced your the importance the impact of
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: female relationships?
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: This is a loaded question, Okay, So I curled up
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: This is Actually isn't it so interesting that you were
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: on Beverly Hills nine o two on NO and I'm
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Is that so interesting?
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: It's so cute?
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: Actually, did you do you live in Beverly Hills?
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: No? I live in Hancock Park.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: No, I never lived in Beverly Hills either, know, right,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: I think.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: It's the aura of it, you know, the aspiration of it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: It's right, still sexy, still rich, No kidding. You know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: it's so interesting because when I was leaving my corporate career,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I was doing that independent of being on TV like that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: That was not part of my thing. But these yeah,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I was like, you know what, I think I'm done
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: with that part of my life.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: It's like my last big corporate job. I was the
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: global Chief Marketing Officer at Netflix, and I took that
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: job right at the beginning of the pandemic. It was
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: a hard ass job, okay, And after almost two years,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: I was like, you know what, I think this is?
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: This is it for me? Like, I don't I don't
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: actually want to do this anymore. I don't enjoy it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: It's not I was getting the Sunday scaries all the time.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: Do you guys know that what that means Monday's coming?
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Monday's coming and you feel a little sick. It
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: starts getting to you like on Sunday morning, and then
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: it ruins your whole day, you know, I mean whole
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: day gone. I hate it, and I'm starting to feel that.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: I also wanted to write my book, and every publisher
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: was like, you know, write the how to Climb the
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Corporate Ladder and Heels book, and I was like, well,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: don't laugh, because I still might write it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I kind of like that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: But I was insulted at the time because I was like,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: you know what, but I have so much more to offer,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: you know, And I think for me, what I was
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: getting to is that, like I have achieved a lot
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: of success in my corporate life, but it didn't come
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: because I had a silver spoon in my mouth. It
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: didn't come because I've never faced any loss or sadness
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: or grief for hard times. Through all of that, I
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: have made it. And so I wanted to write the book,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: you know, my memoir, which talked about that, so that
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: you could see that if things are happening in your
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: life that you feel victim to, that you can still
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: thrive anyway. You can still be in the dark and
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: find your way into the light. You do and still achieve.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: And so I wanted to write that book. And it
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: was going to be impossible to write that book and
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: also show up every day in this global chief job
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: where the expectations were so high on me, I couldn't
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: tap in. And so I made the very very difficult choice,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: and yeah, to leave the job. And look again, I'm
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: not even going to pretend like I'm a hero. I cried.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: I cried in the office with Ted Sarandos, who's the
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: CEO of Netflix, as we were talking about it. I
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: was crying, sobbing, you know, being like I think I
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: have to go, you know. And when I went home,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: my mom was like, what the hell did you quit
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: your job? Why'd you do that? What's going on? You know?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: And but after I published my book, and you know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: the press tour was over and I was sitting at
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: home and I was like, oh my god. Then my
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: egos started to talk to me. What is same o?
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: My ego was like, bitch, everybody thinks you're washed up,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: you know. They don't think you're so smart, you know.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: And I was like, oh, I got to prove them wrong.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: So I started talking to people who were like, oh,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: you know, you're back in the workplace, Like, let's let's
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: get you a job. So I had a very very
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: very large, large, large, large opportunity. Okay, the kind that
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: is like, okay, you'll be CMO for eighteen months and
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: then move into the CEO role for a very large company.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: And the interviews were global. So the last one was
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: in France, in Paris, and I was sitting in my
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: hotel room. I had cleared all the other interviews. I
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: just had to meet the board. And again I was
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: sitting there and I was like, oh no, I don't
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: actually want to do this. I don't actually want this job.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: But how is it that, like, now I'm sitting here,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I've had like fifteen interviews already, I'm meeting the board
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: in the morning. And now I'm having like a panic attack, yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: because I'm like, I'm only here because my damn ego
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: was telling me that I couldn't do it, not because
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I actually wanted it. I didn't want to go back
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: to that. So then I had to call the CEO
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: and say I think I made a mistake, and he
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: was like, no, no, no, it's fine. Just meet the
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: board and then we can talk about this later. By
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: the way, the offer was already with my lawyers, and
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I sat there and just checked in with my spirit
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: and I was like I can't do this, like I
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: don't even want this, like I'm lying. So I didn't
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: go to the meeting. Wow. I got on the plane
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: and came home and cried some more for two months,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: sat in my bed eight bond bonds, yes for real,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: and cried and cried and said what am I going
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: to do? And then I got an email from Bravo
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: And by the way, I thought they wanted me to
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: come and be the CMO. What was when I literally
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: went to the meeting. Okay, like I swear my hands
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: to God. I went to the meeting thinking they wanted
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: to interview me to be the CMO, and I was like, wait,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: you want maybe a housewife? Like what what you know?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And this is I think part of also my story,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: just throughout my career and everything that I've done, is
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: that I really trust my intuition. You know, I trust
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: it in plas helly. I don't ask people for their advice.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: When people want to give me their opinions about my life,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, over there, you know. And that's hard
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: to do because your sister will tell you, your best
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: friend will tell you, your man will tell you, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: mentor with your aunt, and everybody want to have an opinion.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: It's all up and here, all in there. And so
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: I really have trained the people of my life not
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: to give me their opinion about what I'm doing and
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: how do I I need Yeah, we're gonna talk about
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: that in a second, because we all need it, okay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: And so I sat with it, and it felt like
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: the right thing. It really did, And I think part
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: of it was twofold. I was telling you this that, like,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: I think the stories of women in their forties, fifties
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: and sixties is really important. It's truly important. And yeah,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, and you know, because I have worked in
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: the entertainment industry. As an executive, I know that the
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: stories that are told are women in their teens and twenties,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: and that's what sells. And so it's fascinating to me
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: that this world of the housewives is based on women
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: who are so much older. By the way, the drama
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: in our lives drama. Look, it's not even just about
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: like what's happening with you and your friends. It's like
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: the other drama. You know, it's like you're raising kids,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: you're you know, maybe yeah, maybe going through a divorce,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: maybe on your you know, next relationship and the relationship
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: after that, you have aging parents, you know, maybe you're
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: in a point in your career where you need to
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: pivot it or it's you know, you're seeing the decline.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Like there's so much going on in our lives. It's
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: important for us to tell those stories. Absolutely, and so
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: that's why I really joined. I was like, yeah, we're
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: the corporate baddies who are retired, who are fabulous. I
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: need to be part of this.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Well, people love you on that show. I know your
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: teenage daughter must be so proud and oh.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: My god, well she was the only opinion I asked, Okay,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: that's you know what I mean, was the only one
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: I do too, Yeah, because I just I didn't want
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: her because look, this is like the cameras are in
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: the house, right, you can't hide, you know what I mean.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: And also you know, we are at a turbulent point
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: in our lives, you know, meaning that like she's sixteen,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: she'll be seventeen in a month. Girl thinks she knows
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: every damn thing. Okay too, and uh, you know, and
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: I had just gotten into a relationship that was brand new,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: you know, I want to be delicate with it. There
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: was just a lot happening, and I was nervous for
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: her and for me, and so I asked her opinion,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: and she was like, well, there's nobody else like you,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: so you should do it.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: That is so true both, there is nobody else like you.
