In this episode of Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Emily Tisch Sussman, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast 'She Pivots', a Tony-nominated producer, the Co-owner of Gotham FC, and a political strategist. We discuss Emily's viral article 'My Children Killed My Career,' which explores how having children shifted her career trajectory. Emily candidly shares her struggles of balancing a demanding career in political strategy while raising three young children, her journey of self-discovery, reclaiming her professional identity, and the importance of building personal brand equity. She also touches on her experiences entering the sports industry and the significance of meaningful connections.
