    Where’d the Pod Go?
    Loved this podcast and listened regularly — why did it go away? 😞
  • Dorr1113
    Squashes the competition…
    Real OGs get it
  • Sarah Smith Jones
    Q&A went away :-(
    I used to love this podcast! Erika’s advice was spot on and I felt like I learned something. Now it’s more of a status on Barstool, Interview show (which was always the weakest part), and I don’t get as much Q&A/real world work advice. Sadly unfollowed because I found myself fast forwarding through a lot of the shows.
  • LizT111
    Paula Faris interview is a MUST LISTEN
    Calling ALL working moms (seriously, all of us): the interview today with Paula Faris is a MUST LISTEN. It covers everything: burnout, mom guilt, wanting it all and feeling like we are falling short. Do yourself a favor and listen to this amazing conversation. Brava Erika and team for highlighting this critical issue!
  • Hannah Talsness
    Umm no
    Trying to be something that she’s not, and never will be. Advice stinks
  • pumba113
    Just let your guests speak!
    Can’t even get through one episode
  • AustinAlbrecht
    Great guests
    Think you’re a little to quick with the “yes” or “yep” while the guest is talking it sounds so hurried but at the same time the quick segments are what I like about it
  • letlospeak
    Way too many interruptions.
    Just let the guests speak? Nothing more irritating than hearing “yep” “okay” & just echoing the last words of the speaker & cutting in between every other sentence. Also sounds like she’s rushing through the guest speakers.
  • LenBiasisAlive
    Erika talks over her guests too much
    I am anything but the target audience(year old man) but I love Erika and the pod. But I have to say the interview with Pinky Coke was borderline unlistenable with Erika’s constant talking over the guest and answering her own questions. It is a result of Erika’s enthusiasm which is great , but please with the running commentary while guests are answering the questions. Thanks and Viva!
  • Haliebryce
    Makes Business Approachable
    One of my favorite podcasts in the rotation. Erika is smart, humble, and gives great practical career advice. I love the addition of the call in show and looking forward to the new show format in 2023.
  • Bhutch987654321
    Deers have horns?!?
    I always thought they were called antlers
  • Maine Career Coach H. Smevog
    Love it
    I look forward to every new episode. Erika is my hero - killer business instincts with great insight into people management and straight up communication. Charissa Thompson- amazing episode!
  • MrsAbelack
    Too much
    Listened because of Jenn Sherman and the host just kept interrupting. SO ANNOYING. I don’t think I could ever listen to her again. If you like hearing Yep and Awwsumm 2000 times an hour this one’s for you
  • Idkrjdickss
    We need Nick M. on more often!
    Just finished the “how to get a job after college” episode & really enjoyed Nick’s insight into how the company onboards new talent. Not sure what it is about him, but it just feels like this guy gets it. Would love to hear another conversation with him soon
  • Adam (J) Greenspan
    A+ Podcast
    I am incredibly happy to have found the “Token CEO” podcast. Not only is Erika an industry powerhouse, but her podcast is unique in that it offers a front row seat to the strategic side of of a trailblazing company. What separates this podcast from many is the lessons in leadership that Erika offers to people aspiring to one day sit in a similar seat. To boot, Erika is a likable personality which makes it easy to gravitate to her workplace lessons. Wishing the pod many many more episodes of success!

  • reneecdaignault
    Love the pod
    I started listening to the podcast because I’m familiar with barstool and listen to other podcast. Once I started listening I loved the Q/A plus topics and interviews. Definitely took the advice and applied it to my current company and role in negotiations for promotion and annual review. Also used it to weigh other options I had and if I should pursue.
  • aboleary34
    Love her topics and perspective!
    As a newer small business owner, I love hearing her discussions and perspective. She is a great speaker with the best, down to earth business experience.
  • paige1013
    Great show with great advise
    I’ve been listening to this show since conception and I can honestly say it has given my the confidence to find a new job, navigate the workplace with fearlessness, and pick up great tips and tricks along the way. I also love hearing Erika’s perspective on current business events. She has a wealth of knowledge and has super interesting takes in things.
  • Katew1200
    Teaching, motivating, and inspiring
    Erika breaks down topics from business strategies to current events. Her weekly guests are always fantastic, entertaining, and informative. As a female in the corporate world I find her podcast extremely helpful from asking for a raise to taking your business to the next level. Erika is always 5 steps ahead and willing to share the insight.
  • @emily12
    Great for entrepreneurs!
    This isn't a show, it's an experience. Erika does an amazing job of educating her listeners about how to be a successful entrepreneur. She provides valuable insights and tips that are easy to follow and can be applied to any business. If you're looking to start or grow your own business, this is the podcast for you.
  • trwerd
    great show!
    love hearing erika’s perspective - super insightful 😀
  • emjosephine123
    Brings me out of burnout
    I am a podcast junkie, this pod is in my top 5. Erica is insightful, smart & focused. I love her advise segments - they are quick and thought provoking. The corners of my notebook pages are covered with Erica quotes.
  • TrustworthyBostonians
    Oasis in the midst of the storm
    Token CEO is one of my favorite shows. Actually I only watch this and Dave Portnoy with Eddie. What I like about this show is she gives insights, drops gems and I appreciate the interviews and the behind the scenes brought to these shows. I like nuts & bolts and this is definitely worth an hour a week. There is a method to the madness of Barstool, and this show is an oasis.
  • CK Foz
    Business meets pop culture in a podcast
    I love Erika’s take on business. It’s always informative whether it’s her career advice or how Barstool is doing as a company or what companies are making the news. She’s a great interviewer and always has fun guests with diverse viewpoints.
  • hsjones111111
    Valuable business pod!
    Erika shoots ya straight with all of her advice & tips. KISS.
  • TierneyJustin
    Humble CEO
    I am a newer listener to the podcast but have really enjoyed it. Erika seems truly authentic in her words. Whether she is talking generally or about a specific situation you can tell at the end of the day the people matter most and that has been a great reminder to see past a certain situation and look into the people who are surrounding it. Great stuff and have got a lot of great ideas for my own company here!
  • MissRisG
    Open, Honest and Girl Power
    I love that Erika speaks so openly about not only her thoughts on what’s going on in business that’s in the news, but also that she’s so honest about what’s happening inside of Barstool! As a woman in her first 5-10 years of working professionally, I really appreciate having a podcast to listen to from a woman CEO at a company as impactful on modern media as Barstool.
  • zennjennyoga
    Awesome
    Erika has such good energy and it’s inspiring for women and men seeking success in all aspects of life! I love listening to her podcast token ceo! I’m a private yoga teacher and personal trainer always curious about ways to evolve and spread my message of well-being.
  • ang0319
    Grateful
    The podcast has a great balance where you get business upper management advice/perspectives and a dose of what’s happening inside Barstool. I feel like Erika is my unofficial work mentor. Every topic is spot on. The advice that is brought to the podcast from a CEO perspective gives a lot of insight on how upper management might be thinking. She and her guests have answered so many career and cooperate questions I’ve had. Great listen!
  • Lindsay Creed
    Great insight
    As an assistant to the CEO/President of a privately owned company- one that was recently acquired by a public company, I really enjoy listening to Erika’s insight on Barstool’s acquisition with Penn. Erika has great advice for anyone in whatever position they may be in and I love that she seems relatable to every one, no matter their job/title.
  • barlowmb
    Obsessed!
    Weather you are a small business (like me) or work at a big name company, Erika’s perspective on business is no nonsense and refreshing. If you’re a seasoned stoolie or someone who could care less about Barstool, the inner-workings of Barstool are fascinating! The range of guest Erika has on the show, from Barstool personalities to big time executives, provide a range of topics and fresh views every episode. Def one of my weekly must listen pods! #Viva
  • Chase71684
    Thought Inducing
    Most “business experts” talking make me want to vomit. Erika does the exact opposite. Erika is thoughtful and gives practical real world advice the way most people want to hear it! In particular I love when she gets into speaking about sales and revenue generating activities.
  • AmandaWilliamson716
    Erika walks so we can run
    LOVE the pod. As someone in media in a midsize market, I love hearing her thoughts (and guests) so I have a broader perspective on advertising and the direction it’s going. Love the honest advice and recognizing that hustle and hard work pays off. A lot of podcasts will focus so much on manifestation and self care routines to improve your productivity when it’s missing the biggest component… the grind. Will forever be a fan. Go Bills. Amanda
  • jrod93
    Most Underrated Podcast
    Erika’s view on business and insight into what’s going on not only at barstool but at other companies is really cool to see. She has taught me a lot about my own business by listening to her I feel like she has been a mentor that doesn’t know she’s my mentor lol. I would recommend anyone to listen to this podcast and even go back you will get something out of every podcast.
  • fredirick
    Awesome Pod
    The addition of the Tuesday pod has been awesome!!! Super helpful for those career questions you have or even haven’t thought to ask. Plus Erika is always great talking Barstool or interviewing interesting people
  • minncell
    Token to YouTubeTV??
    Interesting perspective on barstool talent landscape! I am a long time stool consumer and really like the direction you’ve taken the company thus far! Would love a 1:1 to share my background and also make a connect with you, Erika! Cheers, Anthony
  • Musica man
    Free business school!
    Erika uses every minute to inform, react and teach the listener. From current topics and treading business stories to personal moments and situations she’s experienced and how she’s handled them. She never avoids the hot topics and isn’t shy about weighing in either. Being able to get inside the big office and learn from a leader like Erika doesn’t just happen. It’s a rare opportunity and it free! Thanks for the lessons!
  • girllovestoeat
    Favorite podcast
    I recently quit my full time job to pursue my own business full time and this podcast has been my greatest source of advice! I love Erika’s advice that you can be successful while still being yourself. listening to this podcast every week has helped me stay true to myself while building my business. Thanks Erika!
  • jsegal8
    Great Advice
    I love the advice and questions you answer from the listeners! I think it is very relatable to many people.
  • amelia22davis
    Small Business Owner
    I recently became the new owner of a successful small business in my hometown. There is an exponential amount of growth possibilities because they’ve been doing everything the same here since the 80’s (I mean everything). Erika’s podcast gives me a lot of insight into how I can be a great leader of the company, and ideas on how to grow.
  • Josett331
    Insightful!
    I love this podcast, find it very relatable and insightful. Erika’s advice always plays regardless of the industry you’re in or role within a company. I love the introspective view she gives on what’s going on in the Barstool universe, what’s going on in the media universe and how that applies back to Barstool. Her authenticity is exactly what you’d expect from any other Barstool production.
  • Brittnicole6297
    Love it!
    Great podcast for professional advice, even for those not in the business field.
  • jimbrem
    Awesome!
    Love Erika’s podcast. It’s interesting getting perspective inside such a fast growing company. Plus, Erika is extremely candid and the guests she has on are always unique and off the cuff.
  • MiaGail2195
    Fantastic!
    I absolutely love Token CEO! Erika does a great job of covering all sorts of topics from current events affecting business, how the inside of Barstool is running, and advice to be the best leader you can be! I love getting to hear listeners questions and getting Erika’s take on real-life issues in the workplace - I truly feel like it’s helped me become a better leader in my own role!
  • brosebaseball
    Amazing
    I love the way that Erika answers questions about business and career moves in a very real way, with actual advice that has been so helpful. She is a CEO, but relates to her employees AND listeners in such an impactful way.
  • CaptainAmerica1127
    Being CEO doesn’t mean you’re entertaining
    Please see above.
  • Yiiiiiiiiiikes
    Terrible
    I love all the fake 5* reviews that were clearly written by employees
  • travis1234567899
    Worst podcast of barstool
    Where to start… boring, egotistical, begs for good reviews, cuts better podcasts but keep this underperforming one.
  • gangwoohoo
    Laughable
    Imagine actually listening to this show, I’d rather go play some squash or something
