Olivia Hanlon: Building in Real Time

Olivia Hanlon is the founder of Girls in Marketing, co-founder of Passata, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree, and one of the most visible voices in modern marketing. Over the last eight years, she has grown a small idea into a global community while simultaneously building an AI startup, all in full view of the internet.

Much of the conversation around ambition celebrates scale, speed and output. What it rarely shows is the cost. In this session, Olivia shares what it actually means to build in real time. Not with hindsight or a perfect framework, but from inside the work itself. She reflects on what burnout taught her, why clarity and health became non-negotiable, and what it really takes to sustain ambition over the long term.

This is a conversation about growth without the mythology. About ambition without self-neglect. And about building things that last, starting with yourself.
