Busy Philipps is a New York Times best-selling author and actress who struck a chord with her fans early on in her career. Starring in shows like Freaks and Geeks, Dawson’s Creek, and Cougar Town, she came to a crossroads in her career as she balanced family, goals, and ambition, but she was able to capture and maintain her narrative in a very modern way using everything from Instagram Stories to recently hosting her own late-night talk show, Busy Tonight, on E! network. Joined on stage by her friend Hillary Kerr, co-founder of Who What Wear and Second Life podcast host, she will dig into how important it is to create your own story and hustle to get where you want to be.
