    Kevin Hart’s ABG Move, TikTok's Location Tracking, and Women’s Career Ambitions

    In this episode of the So Us Pod, hosts Ella and Jane discuss a variety of topics, starting with a significant change to their podcast's release schedule, opting for bi-weekly episodes due to their busy personal lives. Ella shares her recent experiences working in a frigid New York City, while Jane recounts her own work adventures and upcoming trips to London and potentially Switzerland. They then delve into an interesting conversation about Kevin Hart's licensing deal with the Authentic Brands Group and the broader impact of celebrities leveraging their names for various products. The discussion shifts to the implications of TikTok's new privacy policy under its new US-based ownership, emphasizing the extensive data collection and potential censorship. Finally, they examine a McKinsey report highlighting the slowing progress of women in the workplace, particularly in senior management roles, and discuss broader systemic issues and potential solutions. The hosts wrap up by sharing their current obsessions, including beloved books and simple joys from childhood.   Links:  - Lasting Change: https://www.makelastingchange.com/ - Beauty Forward: https://www.beauty-forward.org/ - CA data deletion request: https://privacy.ca.gov/drop/ - Federal data deletion request: https://www.donotcall.gov/ - Mckinsey Report: https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/people-and-organizational-performance/our-insights/women-in-the-workplace  - Theo of Golden: https://amzn.to/4qv8jTN - Heart the Lover: https://amzn.to/4bMuBga
