[Ep. 49] How depression pushed me to find happiness w/ Katherine Maughan

Katherine is a rare combination of being wicked smart and super grounded. Five minutes of talking to her, and it's clear she has mastered her craft as a product marketing manager. What I didn't know about her, is that Katherine started her career in standup comedy. (No wonder she’s so articulate and quick on her feet!)What I learned about her through this interview was her superpower. Per her mantra "play the hands you're dealt," she used self-awareness and humility to craft actionable plans that pivoted her career from comedy to tech. Katherine also opens up about how her experience with depression gave her the tools to build a solid foundation for finding balance, staying grounded, and redefining happiness.Come hear Katherine's money and career journey! 0:00 Intro00:40 What does a product marketer do?01:58 Mental health04:39 Becoming a standup comic05:14 Entering startup world08:46 Be realistic about your chances in tech16:36 Life changing compensation in tech 18:18 Working at Meta23:45 Consciously creating life
