This week our guest is Robin Saks Frankel who Jamie worked with at her last job. After Jamie gushes over Robin's no-nonsense communication style and mentorship, we explore the themes of empowerment, especially among women, in the workplace. We talk about the importance of asking questions at work, even when it feels intimidating, and how Robin challenged the norm by always speaking up. Jamie outs herself as the office chatterbox who is always trying to convince others to ask questions, Rebecca reveals her not-so-hidden disdain for forced corporate coffee dates, and Robin shares her journey into creating video content for social media.

Amidst discussions of imposter syndrome and creative burnout, we all emphasize the importance of speaking up, empowering others and your community, and continually learning.
