Monica Padman Co-Hosts The Special 10-Year Episode

Today on a special episode of Work Friends, we’re flipping the script—as Monica Padman, Co-host and Producer @armchairexppod, interviews Sali in celebration of 10 years of Argent and the upcoming launch of its most ambitious campaign to-date. Monica asks Sali about why and how she built a fashion brand without a fashion background, why it’s beneficial to be the opposite of a gatekeeper, and how Argent brought 100 women together to commemorate the decade milestone. The Argent 10-Year Campaign and Capsule Collection Launches September 8 at argentwork.com0:00 - Introduction2:38 - How Monica Became a Work Friend5:30 - What is Work Friends?7:48 - Being a Superconnector10:50 - Learning Gender Dynamics 15:10 - Best Meet Cute Ever?19:36 - The Child-of-Immigrants Experience22:24 - Millennial Fashion 26:14 - Quit My Job, Started Argent31:10 - The Girlboss “Distraction”35:49 - Men Are Part of This38:50 - Women: Say Yes41:29 - Creating The 100-Women Campaign Image49:00 - The Magenta 10-Year Capsule52:20 - The Opposite of Gatekeeping54:04 - Sali Speed Round!On Sali: Argent Tailored Cargo PantsOn Monica: Argent Belted Double Breasted Blazer, Slim Blouse, and Park TrouserHosted by Sali Christeson @salichristesonProduced by Gina Marinelli @ginaalilbitEdited by Ryan Woldoff @c__bizTheme Song by Karina DePiano @sheplaysdepiano & Melanie Nyema @melanienyemaRecorded at @goldmine.podcast Hosted on Acast.
