Hey, it's Rebecca. And before we get into this week's episode, I want to remind everyone to check out my new six-part investigative podcast, The Dropout. It is the fascinating story of Elizabeth Holmes. She was once the world's youngest female self-made billionaire, and now she's facing up to decades in prison for criminal charges to which she pleaded not guilty. So many of you have

been writing to me about this, reaching out to me on Twitter and leaving us great reviews,

wherever you're listening to those podcasts. And we really, really appreciate it. This is one of

the most interesting stories I've covered throughout the course of my career. It has also been a long,

long path to get here. We've been doing this, working on this for over three years. So I'm

really excited to share it with you. Check it out now. Subscribe, rate, and review. The dropout is

available wherever you're listening to podcasts and new episodes come out every Wednesday.

Here's this week's episode of No Limits.

My mom worked two jobs. She was a secretary during the day and then a waitress at night.

The CFO of GE Lighting actually lived near us, and he'd come into her restaurant where she waitressed every Tuesday night.

And he handed her his business card and told me to give him a call. And I did. He flew me out

for an interview. Wow. And asked me one question. He asked me if I have half the work ethic of my

mother. And I said, yes. And he said, well, then you're hired.

From ABC, it's no limits.

I'm Rebecca Jarvis, and each week we're talking to the most bold and influential women

laying at the top of their game, trying to demystify success and what it really takes

to get there, and all the tradeoffs, whether you're

looking for answers or you just want to hear a good story, you're in the right place.

On today's episode, are you having fun and are you still learning? These are the two questions

that this week's guest has used to guide her career.

Jessica Holscott is the executive vice president and first female CFO of HBO.

She's worked at major companies like GE, where she started her career, NBC Universal, and Time Warner.
