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 brittle

this 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 🥺
