#85: You’re Not That Special — And You’re Very Special ft. Gen Z Coach Sophie Hirst
Description
Gen Z quietly clocked what the rest of us are just now realizing: Success doesn’t have to be loud, linear, or soul-draining.
I’m joined by Sophie Hirst — former Google senior manager turned Gen Z coach and founder of Workbaby — for a conversation that unpacks how a new generation (and anyone quietly ambitious) is rewriting the rules of work, visibility, and self-worth.
We talk behind-the-scenes life at Google, managing up without burning out, and how to build a career you actually want to live inside — one that’s energy-aware, values-led, and not built entirely on LinkedIn optics.
This one’s for the quiet climbers.
The soft disruptors.
The ones who don’t always speak first — but who always see what’s really going on.
