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 57
In a very special episode, Sali is joined by Secretary Hillary Clinton. Having entered the spotlight as First Lady of the United States in the ‘90s, Secretary Clinton later became the first First Lady to win a United States Senate seat in 2000. In 2009, President Obama appointed her to Secretary of State. Secretary Clinton also ran twice for president: first in 2008, and again on the Democratic ticket in 2016, when she made history once more as the first woman to be nominated for president by a major U.S. political party.
Secretary Clinton’s career, activism, and example of excellence and power have been a constant source of inspiration—including for Argent. Today, she joins Sali from Marcel at Sotheby’s New York, just an hour before the Argent 10-Year Work Friends Dinner, to discuss her trailblazing career, the importance of championing women, and yes, her longtime history in pantsuits.
EPISODE 56
Brittany Packnett Cunningham has been an activist nearly all her life. With a background in education, today she sits at the intersection of culture, justice, and policy as the Chief Strategy Officer at Children's Defense Fund and host/EP of the The Meteor’s UNDISTRACTED podcast, now in its fourth season. She sits down with Sali to discuss the hard-learned lessons of having your work thrust onto a public stage, the true meaning of integrity, and why every teacher should be a millionaire.
EPISODE 55
As one of the co-hosts of The Five on Fox News, Jessica offers a liberal POV among the primarily conservative roundtable. She joins us on the podcast this week to share why we’re too worried about being likable and spend too much time being offended—all of which she covers in her new book, I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends.
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.
