  • Hoping for a wider range of women

    Love Sali & love the pod! Just wish she had some younger (millennial & gen z) & more diverse women on. I truly don’t need to hear what middle aged white women have to say because then we start moving into “white feminism” pod area.

  • Another vapid podcast

    Ugh another podcast with privileged women yammering on not offering any real advice they can use in their careers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Suneera Madhani: “Entrepreneurship Is The Craziest Thing You Can Do”
Q: What was the original elevator pitch that got left out of the room?
The pitch centered on a subscription-based payments model with flat monthly pricing and the vision to build technology around payments, which was disruptive at the time and lacked transparency in traditional rates.
Hannah Bronfman On The Truth About Investing in Women
Q: What led you to start Contour Capital Partners?
Bronfman explains she built Contour as a natural extension of investing in brands she resonated with, aiming to support minority founders, particularly in the care economy, and to push for more capital allocation to underrepresented entrepreneurs.
Melissa Murray on Why We All Need a Refresher on The Constitution
Q: What was the most surprising thing you learned while researching the Constitution?
There are multiple constitutional moments, especially during the Reconstruction era and the Gilded Age, where broad popular movements changed the meaning of the document, demonstrating that citizens can drive constitutional change when they organize and demand it.
Melissa Murray on Why We All Need a Refresher on The Constitution
Q: Why did you decide to write a book about the Constitution at this moment?
The book emerged from recognizing that the Constitution is actively engaged in today's debates, with ongoing assaults that people can only understand if they know what the document means and how to read it critically.
Kerry Docherty on Reclaiming "Selfish"
Q: How did Kerry navigate being a co-founder and wife in a high-stakes startup environment?
She emphasizes laying out expectations and boundaries early, recognizing the complexity of co-foundership within a marriage, and prioritizing open conversations to keep both the relationship and business healthy.
