Emily Tisch Sussman: Serious

Hype Women

Today, we are spending time with Emily Tisch Sussman.
There is NO ONE like Emily.

No one.

She is brilliant in all the ways: street smart, book smart, style smart, whip smart.

Every time I’m in her presence, I learn more about the world and myself. I hope you experience the same.

Em and I talk a lot about her journey navigating her identity: as a woman, as a political commentator, as a lawyer, as a mother of three, as a podcast host, as a media mogul, as an owner of professional women’s soccer team – the New York / New Jersey GothamFC, as a member of a prominent New York family (have you heard of The New York Giants?).

Em has been underestimated at different points throughout her life.
And her response to this?

She committed herself to being serious – and taken seriously.

But in shape-shifting to fit inside of a “serious” box that could not contain her light, she began to lose herself.

And it got me thinking:

Are being serious and being *taken* seriously the same thing?

Let’s find out.
