Life & Work with Emily Landers

Today we’d like to introduce you to Emily Landers.

Hi Emily, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’m originally from Dallas, Texas. I received my BA in Speech Communication from Baylor University. Upon graduating, I moved to New York City and interned at Footlocker, Inc. on 34th street! I then had a short stint at a boutique Public Relations agency before moving back to Texas where I started my first company at 23 years old. I was also working in social media with luxury boutique hotels.

Fast forward to 2019, I published my first book, Take Flight, a guide to navigating postgrad life. I had been sharing my unique career trajectory for years at universities so it just made sense to put it all to print!

I’ve been very fortunate throughout my career to travel and did quite a bit of it in 2019 and early 2020. We went to Lake Como, Florence, Rome, London, Paris, Tahiti, Bora Bora and Tetiaroa. All of these trips and more are saved in my highlights on Instagram. I’m very excited to travel again.

In 2020 I knew I needed to get creative with my time and passion of encouraging women and launched my podcast ‘How’d She Do That?’ in June. It has quickly become my greatest passion and something I am very proud of. Episodes drop on Tuesdays.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There have been many challenges along the way. Self-publishing a book was quite challenging and beginning the podcast had a lot of uphill challenges. Even more recently working on designing a product has been challenging but my biggest encouragement for anyone looking to start something new is to go for it and figure it out along the way!

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am very proud of my role as host of ‘How’d She Do That?’ How’d She Do That? is a fun and encouraging podcast that answers that question each episode – while speaking to women who have created inspiring lives and careers. I love highlighting women with unique career trajectories and trying to piece together the puzzle of their careers so that my listeners can be inspired to take a chance in their own life!

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I am looking forward to dropping a product launch – at this moment, I am not sure if this is a new brand or an entirely new business but regardless, I am PUMPED. I hope to continue to excel in my hosting abilities and move into television and radio as I continue to grow my podcast from the ground up.
