I'm Carly Zaken. I'm Danielle Weisberg. Welcome to Skim from the couch.

This podcast is where we go deep on career advice from women who have lived it.

From the good stuff like hiring and growing a team, to the rough stuff like negotiating

your salary and giving or getting hard feedback. We started the skim from a couch so

what better place to talk it all out than where it began on a couch?

Today, Disha Diesha Dyer joins me for our election special of Skim From the Couch, where we're taking a look at different careers in politics.

Disha started in the White House as an intern and worked her way all the way up to become a social secretary for President

Barack Obama.

She is now a speaker, writer, and the founder of B-girl World, an organization that empowers

teenage girls through global education and travel.

Disha, thank you so much for coming on the show today. Welcome to Skim from the couch.

Thank you so much for having me. Looking forward to the conversation.

Me too.

So I've been excited to ask you to skim your resume

because I find your resume probably

one of the most fascinating we've had on here.

So it's all you. Sure so thank you again so much and so you know my

resume kind of after high school was is kind of all over the place I went to

college like everyone else didn didn't like it,

didn't understand why I was paying so much money

to get a degree, to get a job that I couldn't get,

to pay the loans back.
