About the show

Molly Graham, who helped scale teams at Facebook, talks with guests about the parts of work people rarely post about, like burnout and big career changes.
The world of work is changing, fast. The full range of human emotion can happen on the job: ambition and failure, joy and burnout, confidence and self-doubt. Company builder Molly Graham knows all about those messy feelings – and she believes they can actually be the roadmap to a meaningful career. On WorkLife, Molly sits down with all kinds of people – founders and operators, entertainers and creatives – to explore how to build a career without losing yourself. Each week, she’ll uncover the messy stories behind the shiniest successes, and share the real lessons about work that no one ever posts on Linkedin. Follow Molly!
