WORK FRIENDS
The Podcast
Secrets to success? No, thank you. Welcome to Work Friends, a podcast for sharing upfront and unfiltered career stories—the good, the bad, and the unapologetically ambitious. Because what’s better than a bit of real talk among friends?
EPISODE 13
Our first guest of 2025 is the incredible Molly McNearney, the Emmy-winning Co-Head Writer and Executive Producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live! With over 20 years at the late-night show, Molly is the powerhouse behind iconic segments like “Mean Tweets” and “Handsome Men’s Club,” and has written for the Emmy Awards and the Oscars. She mostly plays a behind-the-scenes role, but in this episode, she joins Sali for a candid look at how she’s continues to find success and humor… sometimes against all odds.
EPISODE 12
Katie Couric, an industry icon (a term we don't use lightly), joins Sali this week on Work Friends. The award-winning journalist, best-selling author, and founder of Katie Couric Media dives into all things confidence, representation, and, yes, failure. And, like any great work friend, she candidly shares how she's navigating them all—more often than not, in front of the camera.
EPISODE 11
Errin Haines is a journalist, an MSNBC contributor, and the Editor at Large at The 19th*. The Atlanta native joined the founding team at The 19th* in 2020—a nonprofit, independent publication that reports on gender, policy, politics, and the many ways they intersect—and her work has never been more important. She has a prolific career in journalism and joins us to share both the highlights and some major setbacks along the way.
ABOUT THE HOST
Sali’s Story
Sali spent a decade working in the Bay Area's finance and technology scene where she struggled to find work clothes that were both bold and practical. Options were stagnant, constricting, and lacked key functional elements.
Amidst her search, Sali read a study whose finding moved her to action: A woman’s ability to make a strong sartorial statement impacts her confidence, her career, and ultimately, her bottom line.
It was then that Sali, an entrepreneur at heart and unapologetic power dresser, founded Argent. She set out to provide modern-day women with inspiring, practical, go-to resources to instill confidence in what to wear for their busy (often hybrid) lives. From then on out, Sali’s mission has been to help women suit up to level the office playing field and claim their seat at the table.
