If you’ve ever been fired or think it could happen to you one day, don’t miss today’s Radio Cherry Bombe. Authors and longtime friends Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill join host Kerry Diamond to talk about their new book, “All the Cool Girls Get Fired: How to Let Go of Being Let Go and Come Back on Top.” Laura and Kristina were two of the most respected and celebrated editors-in-chief in the media world (Laura at InStyle and Kristina at WSJ, The Wall Street Journal Magazine) when they were let go from their high-profile jobs. Rather than slink away, they decided to join forces and write the ultimate manual for holding your head high and navigating the process.These two cool girls talk with Kerry about the details of their firings, advice from their book, what it was like interviewing Oprah about her firing, what they’re up to now, and some of their favorite places to eat in NYC.
