Making The Maven Podcast
by Lauren Friedrich
Welcome to Making the Maven As a native new yorker, avid athlete and ambitious career gal, I was extremely fortunate to have one common and consistent denominator throughout my 35 years. And that is, mentorship. A source of advocacy from advisors including my own parents, all of which held my feet to the fire when it came to talent, personal development and potential. Throughout the course of my professional tenure I realized very quickly this is not the experience for everyone, and so I’ve made it a personal mission to do my part, by providing others with access to inspiring mentorship from experts. The difference that advice, advocacy, accountability or even rejection can play in someone’s outcome is significant. I’ve spent years grinding in corporate America and hustling through venture startups, and I’m ready to serve up this curated network of incredible professionals across a multitude of industries in support of you!, Trust me, this will be the swift kick in the ass you need to
