Fu*k You, I’m Gonna Be a Millionaire: Rachel Rodgers, Author of We Should All Be Millionaires Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

Rachel Rodgers knew she wanted to be a lawyer from a young age. However, when a less than positive experience in a white, male-dominated law school led her to start her own firm after graduation, she had no idea that it would be her entrepreneurial skills that would take center stage. When her largely female clientele started asking more about business advice than legal counsel, Rachel knew she was onto something big.

Over the next several years Hello Seven came into being, a marketing, financial and legal service focused on helping women, and especially women of color, increase their income to seven figures annually. Rachel is now sharing her hard-earned knowledge in her new book, We Should All Be Millionaires. Helping women build true wealth by cultivating intention and creating networks with other ambitious women, Rachel is changing the narrative that women should shrink back in order for others to shine.

Fail Every Day: Daniella Pierson of The Newsette Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

Daniella Pierson is an inspiration, but the 25-year-old founder and CEO of one of the fastest growing media platforms did not always feel like the confident boss she is today. Possibly the next (better) Zuckerberg, Daniella founded The Newsette while still in college at Boston University. She’ll be the first to tell you that she didn’t necessarily love academics, and also that it took time and effort to cultivate the self-assuredness she radiates today.

At BU, Daniella started listening to entrepreneurial podcasts like Superwomen (!) in order to create a daily email newsletter that recaps topics relevant to female professionals. She strives to make every edition a treat, with the purpose of “making women feel like they can kick ass every single day.” 7x-ing their revenue during Covid, Daniella is fast on track for her goal to build the world’s biggest female empowerment company. With the courage to fail a little bit every single day, she is learning from past mistakes and building confidence as a rare gem of a female founder in the male-dominated world of media.

Walk it Off: Resilience and Risk-Taking with Cate Luzio of Luminary Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

If years in investment banking taught Cate Luzio anything, it’s that big risks equal big rewards. Cate entered the world of finance without any formal training in the subject, and rose to lead thousands of employees in multibillion dollar ventures worldwide. Despite a fantastically successful career, Cate couldn’t picture herself in finance for the rest of her life.

Her desire to make a meaningful impact led Cate instead to form Luminary, a membership-based career and personal growth platform and collaboration hub created to address the systemic challenges impacting women across all industries and sectors. At Luminary, those who are women, women-identifying and allies are invited to create a seat, pull up a chair and support one another in changing careers, starting something new, or advancing on their current trajectory. With a special emphasis on supporting caregivers, women 50+ and people of color, Luminary aims to put more women in the workforce in positions that cultivate happiness, fulfillment and success.

A Responsibility to Show Up: Mandana Dayani of I am a voter. Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

Well into adulthood, Mandana Dayani felt pressure to be the ideal daughter, immigrant and employee. Starting out as a lawyer, she’s had more than one impressive career. She’s had several, in fact, but it wasn’t until she found herself aghast at recent U.S. immigration practices that she found her true calling.

Working with friends and connections who were also passionate advocates for change, she co-founded I am a voter., a nonpartisan movement that aims to create a cultural shift around voting and civic engagement. Through her mission with I am a voter., Mandana works to make voting appealing and exciting to those in all walks of life, reminding people that creating lasting change may take time, but it all starts with the willingness to vote.

Empowering, Fun & Efficient: Megan Roup of Sculpt Society Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

You’ll never see “before and after” photos on the The Sculpt Society’s website or Instagram, and that’s a very intentional choice by founder, Megan Roup. A dance-based subscription fitness app, Megan knew from the start that she wanted workouts to be simple, fun and effective, but also rooted in body positivity.

Launched not long before the pandemic began, and quoted by Rebecca as “getting her through the worst of Covid,” Megan also uses her platform with the intention of helping people to feel less alone. She believes that even 10 minutes of fitness each day can help people feel better in body and mind, create connections and help to heal the inner critic.

A Position of Curiosity: Activist and Author Jenna Arnold Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

How many of us have robotically asked, “How are you?,” and given the zombie response, “Fine,” when we could all use that as a moment to gently and authentically check in with ourselves and one another? Jenna Arnold prefers to ask “how your heart is doing,” digging beneath the social dance to reveal a nugget of true feeling.

One of Oprah’s “Top 100 Awakened Leaders,” the core of Jenna’s work revolves around teaching white people how to relearn and re-categorize social niceties and biases in order to genuinely reflect on reflex responses, learning how to actively and authentically work from a place of honesty and support. Her book, Raising Our Hands, asks white women to work against ingrained complacency and do the work necessary to become better allies. Using curiosity as a starting point, reflection and understanding can then follow, paving the way for empathy and the ability to better show up for marginalized communities.

Prioritize Health, Prioritize Sustainability: Allison Evans & Kelly Love of Branch Basics Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

When a slew of mysterious, debilitating symptoms forced Allison Evans to take a leave of absence from college to focus on her health, her desperate search for a solution led to her aunt Marilee, who had turned to holistic methods to address her own health concerns years before. Taking her best friend, Kelly Love, with her, Allison spent the summer with Marilee, learning the value and effects of the things we put on, in and around our bodies.

What was meant to be a summer of recovery was in fact the beginning of a lifelong journey in learning and educating people about the risk of toxic products we interact with on a daily basis. Kelly and Allison often lament that they never meant to start a “soap company,” but that their mission to educate people about the exposure to toxic household products naturally led to a need to replace those items. Despite many ups and downs, Branch Basics is now growing 300% year over year. At its core, the company is all about education, extolling the prudent avoidance of toxic chemicals without instilling fear.
