]]> 2015 no Take Flight with Abby Falik Abby Falik is constantly thinking about what it actually means to prepare for a life - not just a career. She took a year off during undergrad to travel Latin America alone, then convinced her university to give her credit for it. She went to business school not because she cared about business, but because she wanted to learn how to work with power. This was the mindset that led to her founding Global Citizen Year, which encourages graduating high school students to take a gap year, and now The Flight School, which takes that thinking one step further, providing fellowships to graduating students for a “launch year” - and for an education that she says is “higher than higher ed.” Abby’s thinking about travel, entrepreneurship, self-discovery and lifelong learning is fascinating, and I loved this conversation. We talked about where self-permission comes from, why the most formative learning often happens outside the classroom, and why real change is *always* an inside job.

]]> 2056 no PhD in Pivoting with Christina Wallace Christina Wallace isn't trying to convince you to leave the safe, traditional path - she just knows that it's just as risky as anything else. What she does suggest is to treat your life as a portfolio of your interests, skills, and passions so your options - for joy, satisfaction, success and liquidity - can be diversified. That's exactly what she did as a classically trained musician, math prodigy, entrepreneur, author and now Harvard Business School lecturer and Broadway producer, and it is her recipe for success in her book "The Portfolio Life: How to Future-Proof Your Career, Avoid Burnout, and Build a Life Bigger than Your Business Card." In this episode of The Breadwinners, host Rachael Lowell talks to Christina about her lifelong love of math, how Broadway is like a startup, why storytelling is innately human, and when exactly that straight track can turn into spaghetti.

]]> 3036 Don’t Punch Yourself in the Face with Paulita David If you’re wondering whether your role is becoming obsolete, maybe it’s time to build the next one. Every job Paulita David has ever had didn’t exist before she stepped into it. She’s the U.S. Large Customer Sales Lead at Reddit and spent a decade at Google, where she became the highest-ranking Latina at the company. She built teams that consistently outperformed. Google even studied her leadership to understand why. The answer? An unconscious bias toward diversity. In this episode of The Breadwinners, host Rachael Lowell talks with Paulita about and why diverse teams outperform, why the best careers are often the ones you invent yourself, and of course, how not to punch yourself in the face.

Previously, Paulita worked at Google for a decade, holding several roles including Head of Strategy & Operations for the Americas Sales Team, and Google’s internal creative agency known as Creative lab. Most recently she served as Head of US Multicultural, where she led efforts to inspire and educate multicultural consumers and connect them more closely with the brands they love. With her deep understanding of multicultural consumers, Paulita founded PD Strategies to be an advisor to business leaders wanting to dedicate more resources to their multicultural efforts. Paulita has a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Northwestern University.

She's also someone who went into recovery at 23 and has rebuilt her life more than once. In this episode of The Breadwinners, host Rachael Lowell talks to Carla about what she calls "the alchemy of surrender" - those moments when the playbook stops working and you have to get quiet enough to see what's actually true. We talk about the myth of the linear career path, why bringing your whole self to work isn't cringey when it's real, and what it means to lead from a place of integration rather than compartmentalization.

The Evolution of Workplaces: We explore the transition to remote and hybrid models. What does this mean for organizational culture and employee satisfaction?

Adaptability in Action: We discuss strategies for navigating change in the workplace, maintaining productivity and wellbeing.

Work-Life Integration: We talk about how the pandemic has reshaped our approach to balancing professional and personal lives. We also take a look at the role of flexibility in fostering a healthier work environment.

The challenges of flexibility continue. We zero in on the disconnect between employee desires for autonomy and leader pushback. Cali shares insights from her group's latest report, "The Now and Next of Work." She highlights the gap between employer and employee perceptions of flexible work and suggests ways to bridge the divide. (HINT: It's about navigating discomfort and finding common ground and a common language.)

Rachael and Cali's discussion is a must-listen for listeners trying to unpack the unending debates around distributed work. They share effective strategies for embracing the fluid dynamics of today's work environment. Whether you're a leader looking to adapt your organizational policies, or an employee advocating for greater work-life integration, this episode offers valuable insights. It will help you make work work in the new normal.
