Ann opens up about her iconic stint at Seventeen magazine and when she realized saving the magazine business was no longer her problem to solve. She discusses her pivot from creating summits to acquiring The Li.st during the pandemic, and why she believes community is the only solution for loneliness that a lot of high-achieving women experience. From giving Taylor Swift her first cover to leading a community for powerhouse women, Ann shares how to rewrite the rules of success. Key Takeaways: Ambition is just freedom: Ann reframes ambition as the simple act of &quot;wanting what you want.&quot; She suggests that if the word feels heavy, swap it for &quot;freedom&quot; or &quot;possibility&quot;—the ultimate goal is having control over your own life. Distinguish your mission: Ann describes the day she stopped trying to save the magazine business as the best day of her life. She realized her job was to talk to women, not to fix a dying industry's business model. Community kills the loneliness of high-earning women: High achievement is inherently lonely because the world isn't built for ambitious women. Community isn't about incremental networking, but about finding a sanctuary for great connections. Watch this episode on YouTube: [Here] Connect with Us!
