About this conversation

Nicole returned to So Money two years after her Rich Bitch interview, this time for the launch of Boss Bitch: A Simple 12-Step Plan to Take Charge of Your Career.

Per the show’s official episode notes, the conversation is about embracing confidence to be a boss at work, at your own company, and in your life, whether or not you ever plan to found anything. It also catches up on the run between books: the New York Times bestseller status of Rich Bitch, hosting the business competition show Hatched, and a monthly money column for Redbook.

Key takeaways

  • Being a "boss" is a posture toward your career, not a job title, you can be the boss of your own lane inside someone else’s company.
  • Confidence at work is a skill you practice, not a personality trait you’re born with.
  • The skills that build a business, negotiation, budgeting, self-promotion, are the same ones that build a career.
