Growing up with a politico father in Washington D.C., Alex Wagner initially swore off any career that dealt with politics. 25-ish years later, Alex is the primetime anchor of MSNBC's “Alex Wagner Tonight,” a show about the news and politics shaping our world. Talk about a 180. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Alex tells us how doing everything she was not “supposed” to do jump-started her media career.

In this episode, Alex shares:

How a pair of vintage heels nearly ruined her job interview with George Clooney
The influence her father’s political work had on her own career
How she wiggled her way into media with zero connections in the industry
Why writing her memoir was the hardest thing she’s done professionally
The lessons she learned from Rachel Maddow when she took over her primetime slot
