Join Emily Tisch Sussman as she sits down with a diverse group of women to explore how their personal experiences led to their pivot and eventually their succes...
Today, the queen of personal finance, Tori Dunlap joins us to talk about her pivot from her corporate job to founding one of the most successful financial education platforms. She is the Founder and CEO of Her First 100K, author of the New York Times bestselling book, Financial Feminist, and host of her successful podcast also called Financial Feminist. But her pivot was driven by something we all experienced in 2016: the election of Donald Trump. It was then that she realized how much power and freedom money held, especially for women, as she achieved her own goal of saving $100k before turning 25. Now, she passes the critical financial tools she honed on to other women, empowering them to negotiate a raise, pay off debt, build wealth, and contribute to their local economies.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer: She Pivots Live from DC
This week, I am thrilled to share our very special LIVE episode with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer from our conversation at Sixth & I in Washington, D.C. Governor Whitmer first took public office at only 32 years old. During her 22 years of public service, Governor Whitmer has always led with grace - and a whole lot of grit. On this episode, Governor Whitmer reflects on her experience in the “sandwich generation,” taking care of her newborn and her mother, all while starting her political career in the Michigan legislature. (She even engages in some fun banter with one of her daughters who was in the audience!) She also shares some important wisdom from her book, True Gretch (now available in a young adult edition!), including the importance of being yourself. This event was hosted by Sixth & I, a center for arts, entertainment, ideas, and Jewish life in Washington DC.

From the Archives: Tetiana Poudel: Returning to Ukraine
In light of recent news, I decided to re-release our episode with Tetiana Poudel, the Ukrainian woman who returned home to help with the war effort. Over these past few months, it has felt difficult to grasp onto actions that feel meaningful when it seems like everything is out of our hands. While this episode won’t repair what is happening, I hope it will give a face and a voice to the war. In this emotional episode, you’ll hear Tetiana recount her personal experience as a Ukrainian civilian volunteer working to help her father’s unit in the war. She explains her decision to leave her job at Spotify in Silicon Valley to return home to her family and help in whatever way she could. Now, she has started a venture capital firm, founded to source and nurture pre-seed stage defense tech companies with an impact on Ukraine’s victory.
