#199 Dorie Clark - The money conversation isn't dirty, it’s necessary

Dorie Clark is a keynote speaker and teaches executive education at Columbia Business School. She is also the bestselling author of The Long Game, Entrepreneurial You, Reinventing You and Stand Out. A former presidential campaign spokeswoman, she writes frequently for the Harvard Business Review. 

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of balancing creativity, commerce, and personal reinvention. We explore the importance of creating "white space"—those necessary pauses for reflection and execution—in our busy lives. We discuss how society often stigmatizes conversations about money, leading to ignorance and limiting financial success, particularly in creative fields. We reflect on how we, as professionals, can find smarter ways to leverage our skills for both creative and financial growth. Our conversation touches on the value of self-worth, long-term thinking, and how the evolving post-pandemic landscape has reshaped the way we connect, work, and find meaning.
