Unedited. Unvarnished. Unabashedly herself. That’s Sarah Lacy to a T. After a successful career as a Journalist in Silicon Valley – largely doing in-depth, investigative work – she decided to walk away. Why? Misogyny and the bullies who fostered it. That may be something of an oversimplification but in the end, her walking away from the grind of covering the news of the tech industry led her to launch and grow a powerful network that is creating a space where people who seek to change the world can gather to learn, support each other and actually do the big work. Originally called The Chairman Mom, Sarah recently renamed her community to reflect the real WHY of the organization’s purpose more accurately. Now called Chairman ME, this group (over 10,000 strong and still growing) engaged in online courses, live chats and Town Halls with the big picture intent of empowering people to find their own true voice. And there are few better to lead this charge than someone whose utterly authentic sense of self permeates everything she does.
What motivates people? Why do they do what they do? What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world.
