Why are you here, listening to this podcast? I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’ve had a moment in your life that you felt that you wanted more. More freedom, more income, more passion, more happiness, etc. I would LOVE to hear the story of your defining moment.

Today we get to chat with a woman with all the stories including training celebrities how to be on camera. What?! We’re in a world of video now, so let’s get with the times and soak in all of Kim’s wisdom. Capping off a 15 year career in TV news and digital (at Fox, Netflix, PopSugar), Kim Rittberg launched and ran the video unit for Us Weekly, overseeing an 18 person team…until her parent company was purchased. She found herself trying to salvage what she had worked so hard for, all from the hospital with an IV in her arm as she delivered her second child. While Kim still had her executive job, she lost her desire to be in corporate America. Kim launched her own company, which offers video and content strategy and media training. However her path to entrepreneurship was riddled with questions and anxieties, thus giving birth to the MOM’S EXIT INTERVIEW podcast which aims to inspire and educate moms seeking fulfillment outside the traditional 9-to-5.
