I have been a long time listener of the show but never wrote a review. This last episode with Jeni of Jeni’s ice cream was hands down my favorite! In the summer I’m there every week. It’s so great to hear her story! Hilary great interview ✨

How often do I look at someone and think, “how the heck did she get there?” This podcast answers my question! I love the focus on the nonlinear career path of inspiring professionals and experts, plus Hillary’s questions about mistakes and time machines and more. I found the show via Emily Nagoski and I’m glad to be here.

As someone who just took the leap and decided to trust myself and go all in on building my dream business, this podcast is a huge source of inspiration and motivation!

I’m not a fan of when hit podcasts try to piggyback their success with another show. Love love Second Life and have listened to literally every episode; I am not a fan of Who What Wear Podcast. This latest episode the clearly Gen Z host and guest made fun of millennial style, uh who do you think your founder is…and the target audience?? Apparently not women over 30. I’ll listen to all Second Life episodes (love Hillary as host) but skip the WWW episodes; I’ll get my clearly outdated fashion advice from somewhere else.

I seemed to vaguely know about you and this show before being sent the episode where you interview my CEO. But nothing prepared me for self-aggrandizing question after question, for a privileged woman who has built a career off internal and external aggrandizement. I was aghast, that even tho this is a podcast about her personal journey to the top, how little the show focused on culture, or the individual experiences 250+ employees with her at the helm. Class action lawsuits, wrongful termination, labor law violation after violation. Ageism, nepotism, favoritism. The whole place she runs is rotten from the core as evidenced by her zero, yes ZERO percent approval rating on Glassdoor. The entire episode I yearned for just ONE question about how the topic at hand, her life experiences, may have led to how she views leadership in regards to the health of teams she is leading. I implore you, with the influence on culture that you have via this podcast, to focus less on how wonderful their meteoric rises to the top have been, and devote at least some portion of the interview to what they’ve done with that power. And what they individually are doing to insure the wellbeing (at work) of those in their stead. Otherwise all this will be is a standing ovation that nepobabies had their rise, and power hoarded, with no regard for those left in their wake. Thank you from Los Angeles.

I always look forward to every single episode that comes out, and that’s not always the case with some podcasts. People who complain about depth, why? This is a podcast on peoples careers, it’s a story they’re telling, not an episode on how to heal yourself. I personally love that it’s just a conversation between two career driven women that already know each other, makes it an easy listen. And they live in a world I don’t, which is a plus!

Thank you for interviewing Courtney Storer. I loved hearing about her fascination with restaurants.

10/10

Would love to see diversity in the guests and to go deeper in the conversations. Very surface level. The constant laughing at odd times is uncomfortable.

Longtime JCrew fan, even through the low times. LOVED this episode soo much. Thank you 💚🤍💗
