Talks at Google welcomes Antoinette M. Clarke and Tricia Clarke-Stone, as they discuss their book "Double Down: Bet on Yourself and Succeed on Your Terms". Wait your turn. Pay your dues. Keep your head down. Don’t rock the boat. You’ve heard the status quo cliches from the suits above you, but Tricia and Antoinette Clarke aren’t buying any of it—and they never have. As first-generation Americans, best friends, black women, and as Elle Magazine called them, “power twins”, they wrote Double Down to democratize success for people who look like them. During their Talk they discuss how to turn fear into fuel, get ahead for who you are, not held back for who you aren’t and build a tight tribe of friends who will have your back. They share stories, strategies, tips and tactics on how to identify your unique superpowers, locate your white space (where superpowers meet opportunity), and play the long game by planning well, aiming high, and going far. The tools and tactics Tricia and Antoinette share in Double Down are the ones they used on their paths to Emmy awards and corner offices. Antoinette Clarke is a two-time Emmy award-winning television producer and the senior vice president of branded entertainment and media innovation at CBS. She has worked as a producer for the Tyra Banks Show, Rachel Ray, and The Nate Berkus Show. Tricia Clarke-Stone is an entrepreneur, innovative marketer, and former CEO of WP Narrative_, and award-winning creative and tech agency she co founded with Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons that was acquired by Hollywood producer Will Packer.
