Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FRAN HAUSER: Do Less. Achieve More. Here's HOW...
Q: So tell us about the book and what kind of prompted you to write it?
The Myth of the Nice Girl was born as a counter-narrative to the dominant masculine leadership models; I wanted to promote leadership rooted in kindness, warmth, and empathy, proving you can be successful without sacrificing humanity.
REPLAY: THARA NATALIE: Mindfulness, Marriage and Motherhood
Q: What was motherhood like for you, and did you always know you wanted to be a mom?
Thara explains that motherhood was a clear purpose and joy for her, but she was also determined not to lose herself in the process, planning to maintain her own dreams while staying present with her children.
REPLAY: SARA HARBERSON: Crack the College Code
Q: What is your Soundbite and how did you come to it?
Her Soundbite is the idea that a strong, authentic identity—expressed concisely as a title or core description—helps people present themselves effectively in admissions and professional settings; this concept grew from an observation of Howard Stern's guest, which inspired the book Soundbite.
REPLAY: SARA HARBERSON: Crack the College Code
Q: Tell us about your childhood and how it shaped your work in college admissions.
Sara describes growing up as a latchkey kid in southern New Jersey, developing independence and observational skills that later informed her approach to helping students articulate their background and story for admissions.
DEEPALI VYAS: Get Noticed & Get Hired: The Recruiter’s Playbook
Q: You've spoken about your immigrant background and how you ended up in recruiting. Can you share that journey and how it shaped your approach to career and leadership?
Deepali recounts emigrating from India to the United States, working in the motel business during childhood, eventually pursuing college and a finance major before discovering recruiting. She explains how the experience taught her resilience, the importance of family support, and how she fell into recruiting, finding a role that blended Wall Street precision with a people-centric approach.
