"The Better I Do My Job, the More Lives We Save" — Erin McCarthy, Chief of Staff at CoreViva

Erin McCarthy's career path goes: Harvard, McKinsey, woodworking apprenticeship in Belgium, sustainable furniture company in LA, Ruggable, professional volleyball in Norway, and now Chief of Staff at Coreviva. She is the first to tell you it looks a little chaotic from the outside. But she has also learned to trust the through-line: she kept going until she found work that actually means something to her every single day. In this episode, Asha and Erin talk about what it actually means to be a Chief of Staff, how that role looks different at every company, and why Coreviva, a preventative healthcare company with the most comprehensive full body MRI on the market, is the place she finally landed and did not want to leave. Asha shares that she has had a Coreviva scan herself and brought her own mom in, and they talk about what it really means to be proactive about your health rather than reactive. They also go back. Erin grew up in Manhattan Beach, was a self-described leprechaun at her first soccer practice, lost a little of her fearlessness in middle school when the popular girls stopped including her without any notice, and found her way back through volleyball, drama class, and a Harvard roommate situation that required her to go out on a limb and tell people she wanted to stay with them. Asha also shares that she had thyroid cancer in 2018. It is part of why she cares so deeply about proactive health and why this episode matters to her personally. The quality Erin named at the end: her body, and learning to love it. Her mom always told her she would. She finally does. 🎙️ Meet Bridget | Season 6, Episode 166 Learn more about Coreviva: coreviva.com
