Sometimes it takes a good dose of fearlessness to leave behind a comfortable job, situation or relationship, and jump feet first into a new opportunity.

A passion for news was instilled in Dana Perino from a young age. As a little girl growing up in Wyoming and Colorado, her dad expected her to choose two articles a day from the local paper to discuss over the family dinner. The emphasis on current events paid off as Dana moved to Washington, D.C. to work in politics, eventually leading to her appointment as the White House Press Secretary under George W. Bush. Now a veteran FOX News anchor and accomplished author, Dana is sharing the advice she learned as a young woman in her forthcoming book, Everything Will Be Okay – Life Lessons for Young Women. The key takeaway? Letting worry fall by the wayside and learning resilience along the path. Thanks for listening!

This episode is sponsored by Capital One Business. Some people feel the entrepreneurial itch from a young age and dive in headfirst as soon as they can create something to sell. Others may feel its constant, subtle pull for years while they work for someone else, only giving in once the pain of an unsatisfying job finally outweighs the fear of doing their own thing. Danyel Surrency Jones was quite comfortable in her executive position at a Fortune 500 company, but being told repeatedly that she was “too innovative” finally pushed her past her own discomfort, helped her focus on the skills she had built and how she could apply them to any field. In co-founding POWERHANDZ, an athletic training and rehabilitation product tech company, Danyel is pursuing her life’s goal to improve the lives of others by serving local and global communities, improving health and wellness for all people by bridging the gap in disparities, and ensuring that the company will never have to choose between doing good and turning a prof

Growing up as the child of liberal parents in Seattle, Jessica Bennett may have spent her formative years steeped in a culture of feminism, but she didn’t feel the need to claim the title of feminist until she was faced with the tangible gender disparities that arose during her first job as a staff writer at Newsweek in New York. Spurred by inexcusable evidence of wage discrepancy and story stealing, Jessica banded with other women in the company, only to discover Newsweek’s 40+ year history of discrimination against women. Finding her niche in mission-driven journalism, Jessica has authored two books, received awards for her coverage of the LGBTQ+ community, been named the first ever gender editor of The New York Times, and launched numerous projects on gender politics and cultural trends. Still working to manage the demon known as “imposter syndrome” despite her many accolades, Jessica continues in her mission to bring change into the spaces that are not yet considered safe for women and marginalized commun

It seems crazy to think that there was a time when entrepreneur, creatrix and makeup maven Bobbi Brown didn’t know what she wanted to do with her life, but like many young people it took some coaxing to decide on a career path. However, once she realized her passion lay in makeup artistry, there was no looking back. Working as a freelance artist in NYC, Bobbi was unimpressed with the popular color palettes at the time, preferring to mix her own shades. Credited with popularizing the “natural” makeup look, Bobbi’s creativity led to her own makeup line, which then paved the way for a multitude of businesses to follow. This Renaissance woman has written numerous books, owns a hotel, and has launched several wellness and makeup brands since her namesake line first debuted, all the while carving out time for herself and her family and learning the art of patience along the way.

Her kids were older, and she was ready  to go back into the workforce. When considering her options she thought  about what she was most passionate about --- organizing and  decluttering. Starting her business Jacobs admits she made a million  mistakes along the way, but that's the life of an entrepreneur. Lisa  talks about some of her best organizing tips, and reminds us that yes,  we really should throw out clothes that don't fit us anymore! Thanks for listening!

Daphne Oz spent her formative years cooking by her grandmother’s side, soaking up recipes, techniques and family gatherings around the kitchen. It made sense, then, that her first book, written while she was still in college, was about healthy eating. While that paved the way for her to join the culinary-centered talk show, The Chew, Daphne still didn’t have any formal training, a fact she remedied by attending culinary school despite an already-successful stint on a cooking show. Daphne continues to stir her entrepreneurial spirit as co-host of the Mom Brain Podcast. As a business owner and mother of four, it may seem as though she is doing the impossible. The key, she says, is learning to ask for help where you need it and to show up as your most authentic self, no matter what others have to say about it! Thanks for listening!

While she might not define herself as a fitness enthusiast, Jen Cohen Bogan has an eye for the up and coming, and she knew the first time she rode an e-bike that there was something special there. The missing piece was, in her mind, a product that could marry function, value, quality and style. Not many people would want to ride a bike that wasn’t cute! Ever the outsider in her career pursuits, Jen parlayed her lack of experience into a fresh perspective, doing her own extensive research and funding in order to learn as much as possible while still maintaining control of what was to become her new company. She’s now the proud owner of Bluejay Bikes, one of the most popular brands available, pursuing what lights her fire and practicing what makes her happy on a daily basis. Thanks for listening!

Chriselle Lim was an influencer before influencing was a career to aspire to. Having fun with her own YouTube channel in college, she was one of the pioneers who recognized that content could mean more than ironic memes and charming cat videos. Early on, she was invited to Rebecca’s fashion shows before fashion had tapped into the influencer market. Their friendship has been going strong ever since. Never content focusing in just one area, Chriselle has gone through a digital metamorphosis through her use of various social media platforms over the years. She has also expanded her entrepreneurial side in the co-founding of bümo, a multidimensional service aimed at providing quality educational classes to children while simultaneously equipping parents with both remote support and a place to work and receive childcare in their new co-working space debuting this spring in Los Angeles. It sounds like a lot, and it is, but Chriselle has learned that the key to success is knowing what you’re good at, diving deep, a

When Minjae Ormes was passionately studying storytelling and film, she didn’t know she would eventually use those skills for another type of storytelling: business marketing in a digital world. The creativity and unorthodox approach she built because of this led her to the position of Global Head of Media at YouTube. Now as CMO at Visible, an innovative, all digital telecommunications brand. Forbes has even crowned her “World’s Most Influential CMO.” While it may sound like a dream resume, Minjae admits that it took a long time to figure out what she wanted to do with her life, especially as she realized she leaned towards the unconventional. Learning to embrace her uniqueness, Minjae now uses her platform to take a stand for Asian communities, for women, and for anyone who worries that their passion may diverge from the norm.

This episode is in partnership with SAP SuccessFactors. Barbara Mason, CHRO of Scotiabank, may be one of the most successful women in banking, but it was never her plan to go into finance. As a college graduate with a degree in urban geography, she started working with the bank in order to scout new locations for branches. It turns out she had a knack for the business, however, working in almost every aspect of the bank in her nearly 40 years there, leading her to be listed among Canada’s most powerful women. One of Barbara’s passion projects has been spearheading the Scotiabank Women Initiative, supporting women-owned businesses through access to capital, mentorship and education. By supporting women in their careers, and highlighting the need to make a shift in social stigma around the division of labor at home, Barbara is working to ensure more women can jumpstart their own business ventures and rise in the ranks of corporations worldwide. The Female Founder Collective is partnering with SAP on a
