Some of us succeed not despite the range of experiences we have, but because of that.

And Katie Longmyer is an example of that. An ambassador of variety and dissolving this duality we all know too well: that at work you can only be one thing.

As an in-betweener, Katie calls herself “the quiet person in the loud room”. As such, she built her own bridge as a business artist to master the edge between the cultural underground sphere and the corporate executive world.

She proves that a voice with range can shine in a world that only demands single chords.

Born and raised in Washington DC, Katie started off her career in New York as a field representative for Warner Brothers in their music branding department. After seven years she quit to start her own company Good Peoples which she calls a creative platform, ideating, promoting and popularising some of the best nightlife events and music festivals in New York City.

She continued her career as a creative advertising executive. Then pivoted to Chief of Staff to the founder of We Work. Then pivoted again to become partner and managing director at Mother in New York. She's currently a partner of Known Lab, an investment lab deploying builder capital for Bipoc founders and businesses.

All of it without ever putting Good Peoples aside.

In our conversation, we talk about her own definition of success, the challenge, and the wonder of how she held on to nightlife-Katie and daytime-Katie at the same time, and what can we learn about returning to ourselves, over and over again, to be leaders of tomorrow.
