Office Drama

okay I need you to understand that this episode genuinely changed me 🥹✨Deb Liu is one of the most decorated women in tech. She spent 12 years at Facebook where she founded Facebook Marketplace, rose to VP, and then became CEO of Ancestry.com. She has 4 million+ views on her Substack, she's a board member of Poshmark and Intuit. She is simply built different!In this episode we get into:→ how Facebook Marketplace launched and immediately got a New York Times headline about drugs, guns, and baby hedgehogs 💀→ the invisible rules of power and influence that nobody tells you before you walk into a room→ if work feels misaligned you might just need to be repotted 🪴→ how to hold high standards as a leader without traumatizing everyone around you→ when to persist, pivot, or quit (and why quitting is actually the first chapter of her new book)→ why ambition without joy becomes brittlethis is the episode I have been wanting to make since I started Office Drama. Deb is one of those people who has an answer for every question because she has genuinely lived and reflected on such a variety of experiences in her life. This episode is true hopecore and Deb somehow makes you feel like everything is going to be okay 🥺➔ Deb's Substack:https://debliu.substack.com➔ Deb on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahliu➔ Deb on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/debliu_Submit your Coworker Confessions 👇https://bit.ly/coworker-confessionsif you enjoyed this episode please follow, rate 5 stars ⭐️ and drop a comment — it helps more people find the show and means everything to us 🥹𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shihOD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.podtiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshihthreads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shihlinkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Creators got CANCELED for attending an AI brand trip...and we're finally addressing it. 🫣Today, I have the privilege of hosting Megan Lieu (data science + tech creator) on Office Drama to uncover what really went down on that trip and what it was actually like as a creator "getting canceled".I've worked professionally in Trust & Safety. I'm passionate about tech ethics, creator industries, and how we all should work together. And I really hope we can actually have constructive conversations on this platform that may push cultural, product, and policy changes for the better.It's very daunting as a female creator to address a situation like this, so I hope we can show up with empathy, curiosity, and constructive dialogue together. 🫶 Thank you for always making me feel safe to speak up.In this ep, we talk about:→ what actually happened on the brand trip→ the video Megan posted and the moment she realized it was going sideways→ how the press reaches out when they already know the angle they want→ why this trip hit a nerve when other AI brand trips didn't→ why the women creators took the brunt of the backlash→ how brands and creators should actually give each other feedback→ where tech creators sit between Silicon Valley's echo chamber and everyone else→ Find Megan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meganlieuSubmit your Coworker Confessions 👇https://bit.ly/coworker-confessionsIf you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶 It's free~𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shihOD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.podtiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshihthreads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shihlinkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama✹ business inquiries: [email protected] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
