Episode Guest: Leah Wiseman Fink

Leah Wiseman Fink is a lifelong educator who lives with her two kids and husband in Brooklyn, New York. The first fifteen years of her very full and fulfilling career in the traditional NYC education system were spent teaching, practicing leadership, opening new schools, and coaching leaders.

She not only helps parents navigate life after baby—including where to send children to school— but she also really loves helping parents figure out the intricacies of the first few months, returning to work after baby, and mom life. Beyond that, she loves getting mamas together for anything from brainstorming to learning something new to talking about the real stuff or just to have fun!

Episode Guest: Julia Hammond

Julia Hammond joined Deloitte in 2019 to open the Chicago office of their creative agency, Heat. A San Francisco-based independent before acquisition in 2016, Heat Chicago will be the fourth office in the US, having expanded to New York and Seattle over the last two years. Julia is a proven team builder, a community servicing do-gooder, a wife, mom, and real estate entrepreneur.

Prior to joining Heat, as executive director, North America at VMLY&R, Julia managed client engagement talent and business across the Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Cincinnati offices. She was also a WPP Global Team Leader, overseeing an integrated "horizontal" team comprised of talent from Ogilvy, Mindshare, VMLY&R and Cavalry on behalf of Tyson Foods.

While at VMLY&R Julia's portfolio of offices handled brands such as Microsoft, Skyy Vodka, Amazon, Kraft-Heinz, Unilever, and Mars. The work ranges from big bold brand campaigns, to efficient scaled content production; from ecommerce and optimization to digital transformation. Julia strives to build brands that equally create emotional connections, and add value to people's lives.

Over the course of her career, Julia spent time at Leo Burnett and Fallon, where she led the network of Publicis agencies throughout Central America, South America, and Mexico for Nestle. And before her adventures abroad, Julia spent several years at FCB Chicago, New York, and Southern California working on iconic brands like Sharpie and Starbucks; she even "Let the good times roll" with Kawasaki Motorsports.

What sets Julia apart is her ability to transform pretty much any situation, into a fun, collaborative, energetic one. Her sense of humor and resilience has helped her thrive in the agency world, and her commitment to talent development has helped her build an army of loyal partners, mentees, and co-conspirators throughout her career.
