Summary: What's it like leaving your 'dream job'? This week host Brittany Stewart sits down with Offline podcast host and former Group Publisher of Who What Wear, Popsugar, Byrdie and MyDomaine, Alison Rice. Alison is a digital publishing pioneer, responsible for launching a number of huge US media brands in Australia during her time at Allure Media. As a journalist, editor, digital strategist, leader, mentor, career advice columnist and now podcast host, she has some fascinating insights into what it takes to be 'successful' in your career AND life. Whether you're deciding what you want to do, contemplating a change of career path or need some inspiration to put your hand up for that next step, this is a must-listen. Alison talked about failing her HSC, getting a foot in the door of the industry, the reality behind her glamorous job in women's lifestyle media, her obsession with launching things, the importance of mentors and mentoring, the problems with the cult of the 'Lady Boss', imposter syndrome, how she manifested her success, her decision to walk away from her 'dream job', spirituality, and - of course - her favourite beauty products. It was a privilege to chat with her and hear her take and advice on a range of subjects. I know I'll be listening through again to write down all her brilliant advice!
