Introducing « Pretty Funny Business », the playground brand we were forced to create in order to corral our founders’ nonsensical ideas and general tomfoolery. From the founders of, by not generally endorsed by, Emmie Collective. Hosted by Lauren Aquilino and Sydney Mulligan.
You can expect off-the-cuff banter on feminism, funny business, and well.. not-so-funny business. Join us out of curiosity, stay for the hot takes and dad jokes.

It’s hard out there being a LinkedIn thought leader, let alone a LinkedIn Costco Rotisserie Chicken.
Lauren and Sydney are representing the “LinkedIn Thought Leadership Committee” to dive into:
Are you a thought leader or really a loss leader?
What sh** posts went viral
The second-hand embarrassment of LinkedIn
Why ChatGPT shouldn’t be your ghostwriter
Plus, we play Buzzword Blitz, where we roast buzzwords like “fail fast”, “human-centric marketing”, and “synergy”.
Loss leaders, UNITE!
