She Knows Now Radio She Knows Now

One of my all time favorite people in the music business is Camille Hackney.  Starting her career under the wing of Sylvia Rhone ( an industry icon) and maintaining a trajectory of achievement amid  the pirating and streaming era, she is like a sturdy foundation in the hectic world of music branding & promotion. Here's what you'll want to listen for in the podcast:

1-  Her non-linear career path from pre-med to entertainment
2- How to ask for more money at work, and designing your own life especially as you get older
3- Work Life Balance vs Work Life Integration
4- Redefining what "mentor" means & her own valuable key lessons from her mentors
5- Her Secret to career longevity & relevancy in the music business

Cindy Gallop raises the stakes in the advertising world having contributed as an advertising consultant, the founder and former chair of the US brand of Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) and founder of the IfWeRanTheWorld and MakeLoveNotPorn companies. We discussed her start, what she learned from her failures, the future of sex-tech, and her thoughts from her CultureTalk Archetype assessment. You have to listen & tweet your thoughts to us @sheknowsnow - we want to hear from you!

Here are some of the take-a-ways:

1- ​What asking for a promotion meant for a young Cindy Gallop & how she turned a career wish into reality.
2- ​If you're not self promoting - you're selling yourself short.​
3- ​The value of investing in women-owned/led businesses has a long tail effect​
4- ​What she did when she got a bad review at work & how it shaped her perspective of herself and goals.
5- ​Why it's been so difficult to raise money for a startup dealing with real-world social sex

​Quotables:
"Don’t be bound by the realms of the possible."
"If you don’t fail, you will never know what you are truly made of!"​
"There is a huge amount of money to be made out of taking women seriously!"
