8 Things We Learned at Our First Nobody Cares Speaker Series Event
Last week nearly 100 people came to Food52’s HQ in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, not for cocktails, not for food—though we had plenty of both!—but to hear a trio of super-successful women talk candidly about the lessons they’ve learned during their careers. Food52 CEO Erika Ayers Badan sat down with Lindsay Shookus, the former Emmy-winning producer of Saturday Night Live and the creator of Women Work F#cking Hard, and Food52 founder Amanda Hesser, who needs no introduction here, for an unguarded chat at our first Nobody Cares Speaker Series event.
Each shared their unique perspective on meaningful work and navigating it as a woman, and I’ve compiled some of the most memorable takeaways below. Special thanks to Tossware, Transmitter Brewing, and Caroline’s Cakes for their contributions to the eventing, which doubled as a celebration for Erika’s new book, Nobody Cares About Your Career. The next event is August 27 with Kim Fasting-Berg, former head of marketing at Vogue and current EVP of Marketing at WME Fashion—RSVP here!
