Work with Erika Ayers Badan

This week we’re talking all about the business of the Girl Scouts. Everyone is obsessed with the cookies but the actual Girl Scouts seem irrelevant. How are they modernizing their business in 2022? Do they even need to modernize at all? Erika speculates on what she would do with the $800 million dollar cookie business and we get some great fan ideas as well. We are joined by a current Girl Scout, Bridget, who tells us about her own troop experience. We also chat about the “Great Resignation” happening at Barstool Sports, Barstool at the Super Bowl, and of course Q&A with Erika (00:03:08) Erika's Boardroom (00:08:52) Girl Scouts (00:20:44) Q&A (00:29:00) Bridget McCarthy (00:38:58) Brynn/Green LightYou can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
