Description

“I was so miserable that a hospital room with Covid felt like a vacation.” When Erin Keating, Founder of Hotter Than Ever, had her epiphany she decided to revamp her life - and now is focused on creating a media & lifestyle brand that makes hot stuff for women over 40. She dives into her pivot and helps people figure out their next steps. Plus we shift into a new way to see rejection! As a former media executive she shares why she rejected shows like Broad City and Schitt’s Creek while working as a TV executive. Not sure about you - but seeing that helps take the sting out of rejection in our professional lives!
You will learn:

How to realize that something in your life needs to change (4:34)
Actually making the pivot and how to decide your next steps (8:38)
Showing up as yourself wholehearted (17:20)
Handling rejection in your regular life (26:30)

After 20 years developing and producing the work of talented creatives for companies from Comedy Central and IFC TV to Snapchat, Erin stepped out from behind the scenes and created Hotter Than Ever in 2023 to fill the profound gap in authentic, meaningful programming for and about women over 40. 
Hotter Than Ever currently produces the top ranked Hotter Than Ever podcast and substack. After a near death case of Covid in 2021, Erin got honest about her outwardly successful (but secretly miserable) keeping up with the Jones' life and ended her long marriage. Erin rediscovered pleasure and found her mission to help liberate women in midlife from the myth of having it all in order to create exciting, fulfilling lives of their own design. As an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning media executive and executive producer, Erin's passion for smart brand defining original programming has led to zeitgeist shaping shows like Portlandia.LINKS
