She worked hand-in-hand with a founder who’s a lightning rod for controversy - OK, for stepping in it. She grew a chaotic company (Vanity Fair calls it a “pirate ship”) housed over a dentist’s office outside of Boston that published giveaway papers into a juggernaut with more than 5 billion monthly video views and 225 million followers valued at 550 million dollars. Erika Ayers Badan called herself a “token CEO”, the rare female employee in the highest rank of a bro-roar sports and new media culture.
She’s also a massive student of work: how to do it, how to be effective at it, how to get noticed, how to crush it, how to figure out what you love and do it as a job. And in this book, she’s figuring it out for everybody else.
With the verve and motivation of books like YOU ARE A BADASS and the smart, specific ideas of titles like ATOMIC HABITS, NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR CAREER is a real playbook. It’s about how work really works and how you can get work to work for you. It’s about thank you notes and thankless tasks, the energy in meetings and energy vampires, how to pick a boss and how to get a boss to pick you. It’s about being all in (but not bringing your whole self to work) and becoming valuable to your workplace. It’s about making your own luck at work.
Erika Ayers Badan is the CEO of Food52 and the former CEO of Barstool Sports, one of the most influential sports, lifestyle and entertainment media brands on the internet.

She has been named one of Forbes' Most Powerful Women in the U.S. in Sports. Ayers has also held leading roles at Microsoft, AOL, Demand Media, and Yahoo. She lives in CT.
