To prove she could make it on her own, Allison kissed job security goodbye and launched her own entertainment marketing agency, Blended Strategy Group. Talk about a full 180.

In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Allison shares: 

• A fact about Kim K that most people don’t know 
• How her parent’s working relationship stayed strong despite separating multiple times
• How a temporary 2-week stint at her dad’s company turned in 17-year long career 
• Why the stakes are so much higher working in a family business
