How I Schmoozed My Way to Alex Cooper’s Desk and Landed an Interview

from Schmoozing with Span

Two years ago at SXSW, I met Alex Cooper. She asked if we were sisters. For some reason, I said, “No, we’re just Jews.” What started as a 2 minute interaction somehow spiraled into me going back on foot… 2 days later to hand deliver my resume like I was in a 2000s romcom. No shame, Just vibes, chutzpah, and the audacity to believe I belonged at that desk. And somehow… it got me an interview. In this episode: The exact moment we met What the energy actually felt like Why I decided to go back What I said when I handed over my resume Whether I almost packed my bags and moved to LA And how this unhinged decision low-key became the origin story of this entire podcast Because two years ago I was pitching myself to work there. Now SCHMOOZING WITH SPAN is here.  Stay until the end because the final twist? I was really close to moving. Share this so she sees it. Let’s schmooze.
