  3. Her podcast Disrupt Yourself
  4. Her book Dare, Dream, Do
  5. Her book Disrupt Yourself
  6. And her latest book to be released May 1st, Build an A-Team.

The first time I heard about Whitney was in a podcast where she was talking about her new book at the time Dare, Dream, Do. Everything she said was so obvious, so clear, yet the ideas were expressed in a way that all the information seemed completely new and fresh. Since then I have been following Whitney.

Highlights of the podcast with Whitney Johnson

  • Her first job in New York was as a secretary
  • At work, she heard the phrase “throw down your pom-poms and get in the game” so much that she decided to stop being a secretary and get into the bigger game
  • Whitney started taking business courses at night and she went from working as a secretary to working as an investment banker
  • After a few years, she became an equity research analyst; why analysts do more “buy” recommendations than “sell” recommendations

  • We spoke about public speaking
