So, how exactly did the global head of marketing for Nike become a podcaster? From studying Comparative Literature and French to becoming the head of marketing at mega-brands like Nike, OWN, National Geographic Channels and Fox International, Liz Dolan has taken the world of big business by storm. But in between these high-profile gigs, she found herself diving into deeply personal endeavors and side-hustles, with a focus on creativity, media and storytelling. Most recently, she left the world of mega-business to host a great podcast, I Hate My Boss, where Dolan and co-host, Larry Seal, help people navigate the drama, highs, lows and angsty moments of modern-day work. And as a fun bonus, on the same day we're airing her conversation on Good Life Project, GLP founder, Jonathan Fields, is also featured on I Hate My Boss.

  • Not every conversation will change your life, but any conversation can.

  • So a sort of openness to people and to listening to people and what they could be teaching you.

  • You'd be surprised when you go back through your life and think of the totally random conversations that have stuck with you and actually taught you something unexpected.

  • So every once in a while I get to spotlight a friend who is also a fellow podcast host Slash producer Slash awesomehuman.

  • This week's guest, Liz Dolan, is just that.

  • She, in fact, is the co host of a podcast whose name I love, I hate my boss.

  • And it's all about the world of work and it's done in a really interesting creative way where she kind of gets to drop, along with her co host Larry Seale, some amazing wisdom about how you build your career and how you make your decisions.

  • I am very excited to also be a guest on their podcast this week.

  • We kind of had fun trading conversations.

  • And what's really cool also is that Liz is my guest here with us today.

  • And we dive into her journey because I got curious, where did she learn all of this sort of like crazy awesome wisdom about building a career?

  • Turns out she actually went to school and graduated with a degree in comparative literature and French and from there somehow ended up as the global head of marketing for Nike, then kind of pendulum back into this massively creative non mega company world and has gone back and forth between these huge, huge, huge organizations at highest levels and then these deeply personal creative endeavors for years at a time.

  • I was really fascinated how that informed her lens on building a career, building a meaningful work life, and living a good life.

  • And that's where we're going today.

  • Liz Dolan, co host of I hate my boss.

  • You can hear me over there.

  • I think it's airing today as well also.

  • And a deep dive into her amazing journey.

  • I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.

  • So a little bit of background investigation on you very quickly revealed that you grew up in a, you were an only child.
