  • YSE Beauty Founder Molly Sims on Leaving a Job with Dignity

    YSE Beauty Founder Molly Sims on Leaving a Job with Dignity
    Apr 24 2024
    Kentucky-born model Molly Sims never met a biscuit she didn’t like. Her southern charm brought her to college at Vanderbilt University, where she made the boldest move of her career: quitting her pre-law studies to become a full time model. Molly was in her early 20s, alone, and homesick halfway across the world. But with placements on the cover of Sports Illustrated, French Vogue and more, it’s safe to say she made a name for herself. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Molly shares: Why southern sorority culture wasn’t for her How her mother encouraged her to think beyond the US for her career + life experience Why she’d never want her daughter to become a model The secret to building resilience and the “thick skin” that helped her survive the industry How confronting her mental health challenges helped her be OK with work curveballs

    Drybar Founder Alli Webb on Scaling a $200+ Million Dollar Business without a College Degree
    Apr 17 2024
    Alli Webb was a stay-at-home mom for five years when she realized she needed to get out of the house more. So she started a mobile hair business. She’d go house-to-house and offer $40 blowouts to moms in LA, something that pretty much no one was doing at the time. She soon opened her first brick and mortar and called it Drybar. 100+ locations later, Alli sold the company for more than $200 million. All without a college degree or formal business training. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Alli shares: The sunshine and beach-haired days of her childhood growing up in Boca Raton How having parents who operated a small biz gave her life lessons in entrepreneurship Why it felt intoxicating building and scaling Drybar, plus the mental cost that came with it How her divorce, son’s visit to rehab, and burnout led to her book, “The Messy Truth” Why she felt intimidated when fundraising + curating the Drybar board – and how she got through it

  • Christine Blasey Ford on Detaching Yourself from the Outcome

    Christine Blasey Ford on Detaching Yourself from the Outcome
    Apr 10 2024
    Before September 2018, the public didn’t know Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. She was a busy mom and professor at Palo Alto University and Stanford. Then, she leveled a sexual assault accusation against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a SCOTUS nominee. She testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and 5 million people tuned in. From then on, any concept of a private life went out the window. Christine needed security to go…well, anywhere. Strangers sent her and her family death threats. Five years later, Christine shares how she navigates her new normal, plus the story behind the headlines and soundbites. In this episode, Christine shares: The behind-the-scenes leading up to her testimony against Judge Kavanaugh What she makes of her unique connection to Anita Hill Suggestions on what to say to sexual assault survivors instead of “I believe you” What parts of working on her memoir, “One Way Back”, were therapeutic – and which were re-traumatizing Content warning: this topic deals with sexual assault. Please take care when listening.
