work your a** off and don't complain. - Spotify's Kristen Friis on the secrets of success.

The Found Generation with Troy Farkas

Kristen Friis is a rising star. At 25 years old, she's a Creative Development Coordinator for Spotify, working on some of the biggest podcasts you love ... and the ones you haven't heard of yet.

To get to this point, she's changed careers, moved across the country, and worked odd jobs to make ends meet. In an inspiring conversation, Kristen shares some secrets to young people who hope to separate themselves from the pack early in their careers. We discuss:

• Is podcasting dead? (2:05)
• Her recent promotion and what it's like to work for a world-renowned company like Spotify (9:10)
• Quitting her soul-sucking job in advertising so she could pursue more meaningful endeavors (14:50)
• The importance of networking and how to do it the RIGHT way (16:35)
• Why Spotify is the only company she's ever wanted to work for (27:00)
• The crazy decision she made to move to New York City without a job a few years ago (32:10)
