About my guest:
Brianne Rush is the founder of The Independence Lab, a platform helping ambitious grads find Clarity after college. Early in her career, she rose from intern to managing editor at Dance Spirit magazine in just a year, then advanced from employee to VP at Kuno Creative, a leading digital marketing agency working with brands like Aramark and BASF.
Her success came not from following the rules but from decoding unspoken workplace dynamics and challenging outdated career advice. Named one of the Top 50 Women Leaders of Ohio (2024) and featured in Forbes, SUCCESS, and Women We Admire, Brianne now helps young women navigate their careers with courage and confidence through The Independence Lab.
With nearly 20 years in marketing and operations, she’s led Growth, built teams, and mentored countless young professionals—especially women making that tough leap from college to the real world.
