How Twitter and a Move to London Helped Build a Career in Real Estate

04/26/22 • 34 min

Dayle Zielentino, Managing Director at Penny Deer, grew up in Newcastle, UK, intending to be an architect, but after graduating at the tail end of a recession, doubled down on his technical skills to land a job and found himself moving away from the future he'd imagined. From a transformational move to London to a series of career pivots that led him to where he is now in real estate development, Dayle's tapped into the power of networking (both in-person and virtually through Twitter), the growth that happens when you aren't afraid to ask questions and admit what you don't know, and the knowledge that it's never too late to switch gears.

Creative Executive Rachel Gogel on Launching Story-Driven Experiences at Facebook, GQ Magazine, The New York Times, and Airbnb

Paris native Rachel Gogel has a deep passion to use her voice to help create close-knit, inclusive communities, especially for women and the queer community. After her very first design class at the University of Pennsylvania, Rachel knew that she was where she needed to be and declared her major in design. Post-college, she took internships until she made her way into design work that kept her afloat and broadened her horizons. Not long after, she was given the opportunity to be the manager of the marketing art department of GQ at only 22 years old. Her next few years were a whirlwind, as she also worked with the New York Times and Facebook and transitioned from design to the tech world; she later started working as a design manager in a small design studio called Godfrey Dadich Partners. Presently, she is doing freelance work with clients, most notably American Express and Airbnb. Follow along with Rachel’s story from her small beginnings in design creating the yearbook in high school to one day helping build multidisciplinary teams at the New York Times, GQ Magazine, Facebook (now Meta), and more.

How a Career in Radio Led One Entrepreneur to Reshape the Live Tour Industry

In Jessi Sanfilippo’s life, the most important thing hasn't been worrying about a big, flashy award for her work, but rather, being herself through the process and learning from each new experience. In this episode, Jessi opens up about her first job in radio (inspired by her love of pop culture icons like the Backstreet Boys); balancing a career with raising a child; how being at home with her son enabled her to tap into her creativity; her “no regrets” mentality when it comes to her career; her “aha” moment while toasting a PopTart; and how forming a creative agency led to a role in event marketing, which then helped guide her to where she is today, working at the intersection of three of the things she's most passionate about: tech, connecting people, and live music.
