Audiocraft Presents: Ladies Who Listen

To celebrate their mentoring program, Ladies Who Listen, Audiocraft is hosting a very special evening for women.

We’ll be working through practical solutions to some of your most prescient business and life conundrums, giving out high-fives to women making waves in audio, and finishing off with a couple of drinks on 107’s rooftop garden.

Some of the things we’ll be talking about are dealing with burnout, (re)defining success, getting paid, imposter syndrome, pivoting your career, breaking ceilings, mentoring + more.

To help give us some of that much-needed insight and perspective, we’ll be joined on the night by some very hard working, wise ladies:
