Amibka Pai is the Chief Strategy Officer at Mekanism (Chicago), mom of two, writing about the intersection of motherhood, mental health, equity, and business.  In this episode, we explore Ambika’s experience creating breakthrough work on Frida Mom Breastcare, which involved getting lactating breasts on TV by working with NBC to rethink their policies. She also sheds light on being on the receiving end of sexism and racism in the industry.  Ambika dives into her love for the restless, curious people that advertising attracts, which leads to friendships that transcend far beyond work. Her hate for the work culture and do-or-die mentality of advertising. And her urge to create systems that prioritise holistic wellness of the advertising workforce.  Where to find Ambika: Corner Office Breakdowns newsletter LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ambikagpai/  Hosted on Acast.
