Emma Gannon, Bestselling Author & Host Of The Podcast, Ctrl Alt Delete, On The Magic Of Side Hustles & Not Waiting For The “Perfect” Moment To Create That Thing

Emma Gannon is a “Sunday Times” bestselling author, speaker, novelist, and host of the no. 1 careers podcast in the UK, Ctrl Alt Delete.   As someone whose career trajectory “zig-zagged” and was anything but linear, Emma is the perfect guest to give insight into side hustles and having the courage to double down on your creativity. After all, she is a multi-hyphenate herself -- someone with various titles. The truth is, we are all more than our LinkedIn job titles and our Instagram bios, and we are all multifaceted.    Emma’s various talents have taken her from blogger since 2009, to podcast host since 2016, and author of four books (so far). Her recent non-fiction work includes the bestseller “The Multi-Hyphen Method” (a manifesto for multi-hyphenates crafting work on their own terms) and “Sabotage” (tips on how to silence your inner critic and get out of your own way). She was selected in the 2018 Forbes 30 under 30 list.   Her WEBBY-nominated podcast “Ctrl, Alt, Delete” is a non-traditional careers podcast founded in 2016 and gives insight into people who’ve looked at their interests to shape the work they do. It has had nearly 8 million downloads, with guests including Elizabeth Gilbert, Ava Duvernay and Glennon Doyle.   In July 2020, her first novel “OLIVE” was published by HarperCollins. The audiobook is narrated by “Fleabag”’s BAFTA-winning actor Sian Clifford and the American version is set for a March 2021 release.    Emma also writes a weekly newsletter called The Hyphen that is an exploration of ideas that have got her thinking in new ways, and a book club, The Hyphen Book Club.   Website: https://www.emmagannon.co.uk  Instagram: @emmagannonuk Twitter: @emmagannon Podcast: https://podfollow.com/ctrl-alt-delete  Produced by Dear Media
