What inspired Alison Stewart to leave corporate America?
Absolutely. So I'll start by saying I had already been thinking about my next move. I'd been scanning the LinkedIn jobs, trying to get a sense for what I thought was exciting about different jobs that I read and pulling out those pieces. What's going to do it for me? What's going to satisfy me?
How did Alison connect with her co-founder on LinkedIn?
And at the same time, using my networks and actually talking to a group of alumni from my MBA program and listening to their stories about how they made job changes. At this point in my career, I'd been pretty squarely in the insurance industry, and I was interested in exploring something outside of the insurance industry, which I was thinking in my head, how does my experience, how do my skills translate and how do I communicate those skills effectively when I'm talking to that next company? So I was doing my own scanning of LinkedIn jobs, pulling elements from different job descriptions that were intriguing to me. And then also talking to my network, talking to folks in a very low risk environment about
these types of job changes and what folks had done in the past. I was sitting at work one day and I got this newsletter in my inbox that was talking about the launch of Overalls. And I was reading about the company and the mission and I got really excited about it. And then I went on to LinkedIn to do some more research. I saw our CEO on LinkedIn and I happened to have my meeting that day with like my networking group and I was talking to them about something that I'd come across this company about overalls and people almost stopped me and they're like Allison it's very clear to me like everything you've talked about up until this point like nothing gives you like as much excitement as this opportunity.
How does Overalls redefine employee benefits?

Now these days, many people use LinkedIn for job searching. but there's a lot of skepticism around job postings. Some of them are fake, and networking can still hit or miss. But your experience was a real LinkedIn success story. Can you walk us through what happened then and how you used the platform to make a genuine connection
