71. Introducing Liberty Road’s New Editorial Director and Fellow Dreamer: Stacey Lindsay
August 9, 2023 | interview by Nada Jones
Stacey Lindsay is a journalist and writer who has spent her career interviewing global thought leaders. She is the consulting senior editor and editorial director of various digital publications—two of note: Liberty Road and Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper.
Stacey has ghostwritten two books and is writing the first under her name, which The Open Field, an imprint of Penguin Random House, will publish. She was a longtime editor at goop, where she was instrumental in building new editorial franchises, including Game Changers and The Good Samaritan, that focused on women evolving humanity. Prior to goop, Stacey served as an evening TV news anchor and reporter in the Four State region, where she dived deep into the veteran healthcare crisis, the plight of local factory workers, the rising cost of food, and more. Her Sunday newscast received some of the highest ratings in the region.
She also worked with the late and legendary James Caan as his associate producer and right hand. She began her career in New York City working for Magnolia Pictures. Stacey has a B.A. in media studies from Emerson College and an M.A. in journalism from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She lives in San Francisco.
In this episode, Nada sits with Stacey to discuss her vision for Liberty Road’s online editorial, launching on August 3rd. In addition, she shares her windy journey to online content, including what led her to the midlife space and eventually to meeting Nada. We are excited about this next chapter for Liberty Road and how Stacey will help expand the dialogue about and with women in the middle third of life.
