  • A Fresh Take On Career Growth

    So often we are bombard with hustle culture and the message that we have to work harder, do more, and achieve more to build our dream life. Surprisingly, the Career Slay podcast shares the real advice about what it takes to build a sustainable and successful career. I love the span of careers it covers and the honesty and authenticity of the guests.

  • Insightful and Much Needed

    Career Slay holds so many golden nuggets of insight, even if you don’t personally identify with the career or industry being discussed.

Kelly is really gifted at interviewing—she knows which questions to ask and holds ample space for her guests to tell their stories. It makes each episode feel like the kind of conversation you would have if you asked someone whose career yo... more

  • Diverse and detailed!

    I love Kelly’s choice of guests on the show. They have a diverse range of careers that are different from mine, which gives me insight on how to rethink my unique challenges and trajectory. I also love how everybody is “young enough but old enough”—young enough that they are still stretching and growing in real time, and old enough to have navigated economic challenges. Also, everybody has a different perspective on how they met “the moment” that caused them to grow into their authentic selves. ... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Finding Your Mirrors: Dr. Sheila Gujrathi on Leaving Medicine for Biotech
Q: How scary was that conversation telling your mom that you were not going to be a doctor?
Gujrathi says the conversation was frightening because her mother had worked hard and invested heavily in her education. Her mother struggled to understand the decision, but a backup plan to return to medicine offered some reassurance.
Finding Your Mirrors: Dr. Sheila Gujrathi on Leaving Medicine for Biotech
Q: What were some of the signs where you kind of recognize that this isn't the path that you want for yourself?
She loved learning medicine but noticed her energy and enthusiasm for clinical work fading. When she could no longer picture herself doing it for another five or ten years, she began exploring other careers.
Winning the Career Game ft. Kendall Berg
Q: What advice would you give your 20-year-old self?
Don't panic about not having all the answers; it's okay to be uncertain, learn as you go, and trust that plans can evolve into unexpected and rewarding outcomes.
Winning the Career Game ft. Kendall Berg
Q: What is the most important rule in your book Secrets of the Career Game?
Educate your boss on what you're doing and why it matters because most bosses don't know the specifics of your day-to-day; document impact, and use that to advocate for promotions and resource needs.
Winning the Career Game ft. Kendall Berg
Q: Why did you turn down a CFO role even when it represented a major career milestone?
Because holistic life priorities and long-term alignment mattered more; the role would have sacrificed time with family and personal goals, and she valued a sustainable balance and authentic fulfillment over title alone.
