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 35
Lisa Joseph Metelus is the Head of Athlete Brand Strategy and Board Member at Creative Artists Agency, and Co-founder of PlayMakeHer. Over her three-decade career, she’s been a force behind the biggest, most-celebrated athletes of our time, including Hall of Famers Alonzo Mourning and Dwyane Wade. Lisa has not only found incredible success in a male-dominated field, she’s also committed to uplifting fellow women in the business of sports. In that spirit, she gets totally candid about the mistakes she’s made along the way.
EPISODE 34
The President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center is a staunch champion for all women and girls, and defender of civil rights. Today, she joins Sali to share how she got over imposter syndrome as a first-generation lawyer, why Congress resembles The Real Housewives these days, how executive orders to “protect women” can actually doing the opposite, and why now is not the time to be discouraged by the state of the world—it’s time to take action.

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.
