Today is a masterclass in networking, reputation management, and personal brand building from one of the most successful, highly sought-after minds in the business: Jen Prosek, the founder and CEO of Prosek Partners.

The daughter of immigrants, Jen shares her inspiring story about becoming a go-to consigliere for the male-dominated industry of hedge funds, private equity firms, and investment banks as a female English major without a preexisting network of her own. 

Jen outlines steps for building your personal brand, explains how to network throughout all stages of your career (from college student to CEO), and advises on how to handle the inevitable "stubbed toe" from a reputational standpoint. 

She also teaches us how to build an entrepreneurial mindset, a subject on which she has written two books (linked below).  And finally, Jen answers the age-old question: is all press good press?

Whether you are prepping for fall recruiting season, looking to level up in your career, or seeking to understand the "emerging market frontier of marketing" that's taking place in the private capital and alternative investment space, this episode is a MUST LISTEN.
