Taking Risks in Career and Life | Sarah Friar | E28

Описание: What if the biggest setback in your career was actually your greatest gift?

Meet Sarah Friar, the Chief Financial Officer of OpenAI (CFO of ChatGPT), former CEO of Nextdoor, and former CFO of Square, who turned a career disappointment at Goldman Sachs into a launching pad for purpose-driven leadership.

Growing up in conflict-ridden Northern Ireland, Sarah learned early on how powerful community can be in times of chaos. She’s carried that lesson with her through high-stakes roles at McKinsey, Salesforce, and Square — and now leads Nextdoor, a platform transforming how neighbors connect and support each other.
In this powerful episode, Randall and Sarah explore:
✅ Why losing a promotion at Goldman set her free
✅ How women can navigate and thrive in male-dominated industries
✅ Why emotional connection and social capital are the true drivers of business success
✅ The hidden red flags of job hopping — and what truly impresses top employers
✅ How to turn your deepest fears into fuel for risk-taking
✅ The real secret behind philanthropy and purpose at work
✅ And why extreme preparation still beats talent every time

This is a must-listen for ambitious professionals, purpose-driven leaders, and anyone looking to grow through adversity.
