In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Ali Feller, host of the "Ali on the Run Show" podcast, race announcer for the NYC and Boston Marathons, and one of my oldest friends from our magazine days in NYC.

We get real about how ambition, authenticity, and scrappiness led us from internships to leadership roles fast.

We talk about:

1. How Ali landed her dream job straight out of college

2. Why she told the VP of Editorial, “I want your job” (and how that worked out)

3. The pressure of leadership in your 20s and the lessons it teaches you

4. Building a personal brand and podcast that reaches thousands

5. The power of being yourself—at work and online

6. What to do when your career path takes an unexpected turn

Whether you're a recent grad or looking to take your next big leap, this conversation is packed with heartfelt advice, laughter, and career gold.
