I Quit My Dream Job to Start Over at 32...| @Elevenlabs Head of Partner Marketing, Sophia Noel

29 Jun 2026 · 1 h 01 min · Episode 5

Sophia is one of my best friends, the officiant of my wedding, and one of the most cracked marketers I know. She's led campaigns at Airbnb, Databricks, and ElevenLabs. She won Best Dance Film at the LA Film Awards. She's also going through her biggest plot twist yet: leaving tech to pursue her art. Full time. For good. 🙂↕️

In this episode, we talk about:

→ why AI will never replace storytelling, taste, and human connection

→ her honest take on the job market, what 20-somethings are getting wrong, and what a great interview actually looks like

→ how she faced being belittled in by an interim CMO who said they need someone "more senior" when she led the campaign all along

This one is for anyone who has done everything right and still felt like they were playing it too safe. Sophia is the most elegant proof I know that the pivot you're scared of might be the one you were always supposed to make.
