Podcast Ep 43: Cat Lincoln, CEO of CLEVER
If your career isn’t everything you want it to be and you need some inspiration to try something new, you will love this episode with Cat Lincoln, founder and CEO of Clever. (You might recognize the award-winning, multi-million-dollar influencer marketing company from Batkid Make-a-Wish Day in San Francisco in 2013). Cat went from working the hardcore banking life to being a lifestyle blogger to eventually creating her own social media business and being recognized as a Fortune 500 executive. Bam!
In this episode (which is part of our Like a Boss series — get them all here!), Cat talks about the various kinds of sexism she’s encountered over the years while establishing her brand, along with her best advice for dealing with misogynistic behavior. Also covered in this lively and informative discussion, the “wild west” days of blogging, creating an office environment that feels cohesive when everyone works remotely, and what it’s like to work with your two best friends.
