147: Job Transitions, Growth Mindset and Redefining Success with Erin Sprague

On today’s episode I’m talking with my friend, Erin Sprague, and I can’t wait for you to get to know her as we talk about her personal and professional journey.

 

Erin is the Head of Marketing at Mill Industries, a consumer technology start-up that has built a new system to prevent waste, starting with food. Before getting into sustainability, Erin built world-class brands in the outdoor industry as the Chief Brand Officer at Aspen Skiing Company; VP of Marketing at Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Sport; and Global Head of Women’s Brand and Product at Specialized Bicycles. She lives and plays with her husband and two daughters in Boulder, Colorado.

 

We discuss her realization that what she went to college for wasn’t what she wanted to continue to do (and how she managed her mindset so she could pursue what she really wanted), how listening to her intuition played into later job transitions, and how she hasn’t followed traditional definitions of success — and why that’s severed her both personally and professionally. I adore Erin and appreciated this conversation so much. If you’re looking for real talk navigating career goals and transitions (and cross country moves), the importance of consistency over being a hero, and juggling pursuits while raising kiddos — be sure to tune in.
