Getting Fired at the Top of Your Game (Kristina O’Neill)

Kristina O'Neill spent more than a decade at The Wall Street Journal, ultimately becoming editor-in-chief of WSJ. Magazine. Then, in 2023, she got fired. The financial implications were immediate: a severance cushion, but no guarantee of what would come next in a media industry with few opportunities at her level. Instead, she and Laura Brown turned the experience into the bestselling book All the Cool Girls Get Fired, and a podcast built on the same premise. Kristina talks with Chris Hill about:  \- A childhood shopping trip that still shapes how she spends money as an adult  \- The “unicorn” college she couldn’t resist \- Why she decided to stop hiding the fact that she got fired  \- The money lesson she learned from covering the luxury industry Email info@moneyunpluggedpod.com with questions, suggestions, etc. Opening clip – “Sex and the City”
