Emily Parent has never once, in her entire life, let anyone tell her what to do — so much so that she’s entirely unfit for a loveless nine-to five relationship with the corporate entities that Silicon Valley has to offer. Sadly, she seems to thrive only in environments that allow her to undergo manic, messy fits of creative productivity that typically scares most sensible people off. Emily is truly very lucky to have met Dan Vado, who not only tolerates the acquired taste of her creative vision but actually seems to possess an intuitive aptitude for pointing her in the right direction and letting her sprint until she runs out of battery.

It was through sheer stubbornness through which Emily acquired a degree in English & Creative Writing from Emory University and, after a brief and confusing encounter with the world of marketing and communications, launched a small creative business as a podcast producer and social media content strategist. In her 10+ years of producing podcasts, she’s helped create a handful of science and wellness-related podcasts including “Rebel Wellness”, Intel’s “Experiment Exchange”, and “Do It, I Dare You!”. Emily is also a certified yoga instructor and the author of a short collection of poetry and comics called Butterfly Net, which chronicles her hatred of capitalism and her various vendettas with people who looked at her funny when she was in college.
