Meredith is a communications executive with nearly two decades of experience at some of the biggest names in the game: Walmart, Pinterest, and Jet.com, to name a few. She's the author of Meredith &amp;amp; The Media, a wildly popular Substack on the latest news, moves, and trends in media, featuring exclusive interviews with leading journalists on what's driving their coverage. She\u2019s a PRWeek 40 Under 40 honoree and regular contributor to Inc. She\u2019s the person in the room who actually knows everyone and makes sure everyone else knows each other too. Basically, if comms had a connector-in-chief, it would be her.&amp;nbsp; Kim and Meredith talk about personal branding, networking without the ick, why \u201cbelieve it until you achieve it\u201d beats \u201cfake it till you make it,\u201d and what it takes to really own your worth. Grab a martini (with extra olives) and get ready for some F-bomb filled wisdom.
