Erin Burnett flirted with the idea of becoming a CIA agent one day, drawn to the undercover thrills. Instead, she crunched numbers at Goldman Sachs as a financial analyst, then pivoted to be a broadcast journalist. While she never became a secret spy or ran a Wall Street empire, she didn’t let her interests or skills collect dust. Listen as Erin shares how she fused her business knowledge with her world news obsession to land her daily primetime show, OutFront with Erin Burnett. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Erin shares:  <ul>
<li>The irony of becoming a TV news anchor despite growing up without cable</li>
<li>How she got the chutzpah to send a cold email asking to meet a CNN host </li>
<li>Her transition from economic to foreign affairs news, and how the former helped inform her new beat </li>
<li>Why she doesn’t regret taking 20 minutes out of her work day to show up for her kids</li>
<li>Her relatable answer to how much she’s able to prioritize her mental health </li>
