Building Relationships

Fran Hauser - Today I am thrilled to bring you the incredible Fran Hauser. Fran is a long-time media executive, startup investor and keynote speaker. How I came to know Fran is through her best selling book, The Myth of the Nice Girl: Achieving a Career You Love Without Becoming a Person You Hate. In the book she deconstructs the negative perception of "niceness" that many women struggle with in the business world. The book has resonated with thousands of women who are looking to lead authentically and take their career to the next level. Prior to writing The Myth of the Nice GIrl, Fran spent 15 years in the digital media space, holding President and General Manager positions at Time Inc., AOL and Moviefone. She played an integral role in the $525 million dollar sale of Moviefone to AOL and in building PEOPLE.com into one of the most successful women's websites. Fran was named one of Business Insider's "30 Women in Venture Capital to Watch in 2018." Fran and The Myth of the Nice Girl have been featured on a wide range of outlets including NBC’s Today Show, CNBC, PEOPLE, Fortune, TIME, Fast Company, Oprah.com, Business Insider, Elle, and many more. The Myth of the Nice Girl was named Audible's Best Business Book of 2018 and one of Amazon's Best Business and Leadership Books of 2018, among other accolades. Fran is a frequent speaker on women's leadership and writes a regular career advice column for Refinery29. Today we talk about the importance of building relationships, how to move through difficult business decisions, how to confront work situations with grace and strength, and more tips from her best selling book. And at the end of our conversation I'm going to tell you how you and a friend can win a copy of The Myth of the Nice Girl. Let's Figure It Out with Fran Hauser.

Om Podcasten

Let's Figure It Out is an inspirational place where you can hear the stories of every day people taking a leap. From the outside it might look like my guests achieved success easily overnight. But that's not the case. I'm going to take you behind the scenes so you can hear the real story and gain inspiration and encouragement, whether you're looking to switch jobs, change careers, feel supported as an entrepreneur, go on an adventure, or gain a new perspective to move your life forward. Let's Figure It Out features relaxed, soulful, brave conversations and also shorter podcasts I like to call…wait for it… "Shorts"…with me popping in solo to provide quick tips along the way. This podcast is in no way going to give you a roadmap for success. The closest you will get, is hearing us talk about how the secret to figuring out something is letting go, releasing and knowing the answers will come to you, even if you have a few missteps along the way. It's when we loosen the grip and have some fun that the struggle diminishes and the answers start to flow. My intention is to bring you fun, thoughtful, real conversations with leaders who figured out how to make a life change, and used their story to move themselves forward. This is Let's Figure It Out.
