Thanks for joining us for another Glass Session!

This week, we're joined by Jessica Noon, founder of Daybreak Ideas. Jessica works with founders and organizations on culture transformation, org design, leadership strategy, and hiring - helping businesses build workplaces where people can actually thrive.

The conversation explores:

• Why consistent and humane leadership matters more than ever
• Common hiring mistakes founders make as they scale
• How to identify your “flow zone” at work
• Practical advice for creating opportunities instead of waiting for them
• How to pitch yourself into roles that don’t exist yet
• Networking strategies for introverts and relationship-builders
• Why authentic connection is one of the highest ROI career investments you can make

Jessica also shares a powerful perspective on building a career and life around “both, not either” - challenging the idea that people have to choose between ambition, fulfillment, stability, creativity, flexibility, or personal priorities.

What you wear isn’t just about how you look - it shapes how you show up.

This week, we’re joined by Wardrobe Editor founder Gab Saper to talk about the real impact of personal style on confidence, decision-making, and building a life (and business) that actually works for you.

Gab shares her path from corporate roles to launching her styling business full-time after burnout - and what it actually takes to build something on your own.

What we cover

• Why personal style is more than aesthetics - it impacts confidence, behavior, and performance
• How getting dressed can reduce decision fatigue and free up mental “RAM”
• On of the hardest parts of entrepreneurship: making decisions without a boss and building community
• What holds people back from making a career leap (money, stability, and identity shifts)
• How to think about scaling as a service-based founder
• What makes a great client (and how to find them)
• Real client transformations - from overwhelmed to confident and clear
• Redefining “the good life” as something you don’t need a vacation from

Gab’s approach to styling

Gab doesn’t believe in trends for the sake of trends. Her work is about helping clients build a wardrobe that actually works for their real life - saving time, energy, and mental load while making them feel like themselves.

Her services are designed as structured, high-impact styling experiences, typically including:

• Style discovery to define what actually feels like you
• Closet editing to refine what stays, goes, and needs to change
• Personal shopping to fill gaps with intention
• Outfit building + ongoing support so getting dressed becomes easy and repeatable

Welcome back to The Glass Sessions!

This week, we're re-releasing one of our favorite conversations from season one: how to build a personal brand that actually opens doors.

We’re joined by Allie Fisher, independent creative director and former magazine art director, who breaks down what personal branding really means - and why it matters more than most people think for both job searching and leadership.

This episode is grounded and actionable. We cover how to define your “why,” translate it into how you show up, and make it visible through what you share - whether that’s on LinkedIn or in everyday conversations. We also get into the exact prompts and exercises you can use to clarify your story, your strengths, and your direction.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why personal branding isn’t optional if you want to grow your career
• How your values and audience shape your brand
• The “Why → How → What” framework and how to apply it
• How to audit what you’re already putting into the world (especially on LinkedIn)
• Simple prompts to clarify your story and communicate your work
• How to translate your experience when making a pivot
• Ways to get outside perspective when you feel stuck
