Today isn’t just another day. No, it is a celebration of how far we’ve come and a reminder of where we need to push next. Welcome to a special episode recorded on a day close to my heart and journey, Women’s Equality Day. 

This isn’t just any date on the calendar. It is a day to recognize the crazy, thrilling rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship. So buckle up. We’re diving into the nitty gritty of business, bias, and breaking ceilings. We will discuss why more women should hop on this wild ride of starting their own business and spoiler alert. It’s pretty darn empowering.  

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why fostering gender equality in today’s corporate setting matters so dang much.
  • The unique edge women bring to the entrepreneurship landscape.
  • Where women have been and where we might be going in the workplace
  • How to cultivate an inclusive and equitable workspace.
  • The power, influence, and money accessible to women through entrepreneurship.

This episode at a glance:

[03:35] When I looked back into the patterns of my own life. I saw that I was constantly supporting others and not receiving the acknowledgment or credit that I was looking for

[07:08] If we can build a self-driving car, but we can’t figure out how to pass the equal rights amendment or pay women equally for work done. I think that’s just nonsense.

[09:07] Men overinflate their skillsets, and women underestimate their skillsets. And so it’s not a lack of capability that’s holding us back. It’s a dearth of opportunity, how we see ourselves and how other people see us

[10:54] Women’s Equality Day is an opportunity to reflect on the progress. It’s a chance to consider your own career trajectory. The obstacles you’ve faced and the potential for growth and empowerment through entrepreneurship

[13:18] You have the potential to help usher in a new era of entrepreneurship that’s innovative, socially responsible, and built on equal opportunities.  Let’s make entrepreneurship the new norm.
