About the Show

Amy Calvert and Lisa Hardin spent more than 25 years building careers, leading teams, growing businesses and navigating change without ever actually meeting. When they finally did, they discovered they had a lot to talk about.

The Long Game is about careers, leadership and reinvention, but it’s also about everything that happens along the way. Aging. Relationships. Family. Success. Failure. And the things women experience but don’t always talk about.

With decades of experience behind them and plenty they’re still figuring out, Amy and Lisa bring two different perspectives to conversations about what they’ve learned, what nobody told them, what’s changed and what really matters now. Some conversations are serious. Some are funny. And some go places they never expected. Because the career is only part of the story. Life is the long game.

Balance today. Prepare for tomorrow.
