Power, Money, Truth featuring Jamie Fiore Higgins

“Curiosity and humility are the only things that change toxic workplaces, and they have to come from the top.” Jamie Fiore HigginsIn this episode of 15 with Fosca, I sit down with Jamie Fiore Higgins, former Goldman Sachs executive and author of Bully Market, for an honest conversation about power, ambition, identity, and the quiet damage toxic workplaces can do.Jamie shares what it was like rising to the top of Wall Street as one of the few women in the room, and how a culture built on silence, fear, and performance slowly reshaped her sense of self. We talk about how environments normalize behavior we never imagined accepting, how money complicates moral clarity, and why leaving can feel more terrifying than staying.We also explore what it took for Jamie to write Bully Market, the reactions it sparked, and why telling the full truth, including her own complicity, mattered.This is a conversation about success, survival, who we become inside powerful systems, and what it takes to reclaim your voice after you leave.Biography Jamie Fiore Higgins worked as a managing director at Goldman Sachs.
