I was thrilled to share my recent interview with Julie Ann Crommett about her incredibly impressive career. I have long been in awe of her career trajectory—BA from Harvard University; executive positions at NBCUniversal, Google, and Walt Disney Studios; a spot on The Hollywood Reporter’s prestigious “Next Gen: 35 Under 35” list; president of her own consulting agency; an appearance on Jeopardy!—and I was thrilled that she took time out of her busy schedule to chat with me about her work.

We talked for about an hour and discussed far too much that could fit into one interview. So I’m sharing some outtakes here, along with Julie Ann’s recommendations of things to read, watch, listen to, and do.
