She Conquers Capital with Stefanie Diaz

This is a special one. I dusted off the mic and sat down with the four exceptional college interns who spent their summer at Catalyst by Wellstar. Mentorship is deeply important to me. If it's also important to you, there's something for you in the conversation. Especially if you stick around to the end for the last question I asked that none of them expected and they won't soon forget. Thank you to Rahma Ashraf, Alex Changus, Tania Rios, and David Tran for all the work and heart you poured into Catalyst thus summer. Excited to see where you go from here!

Someone recently told a client of mine she needed to toughen up if she was going to succeed as a tech CEO. Would you be surprised to know this came from a man who's been immersed in Silicon Valley bro culture the majority of his career?    Obviously, he doesn't understand how she is tapping into her best and most authentic leadership.     So, let's use this as a jumping off point for an important conversation.   How do we, as women, show up in historically male-dominated industries?    How do we deploy our feminine energy and succeed?   How does our own unique energy give us the strength we need to bust through the glass ceiling?    That's the conversation I dive into on this week's solo episode on She Conquers Capital. Plus, I share the action you can take today to embody the energy you desire, both personally and professionally.  ***   Up-level Your Capital Raise and Pitch Like a Thought-Leader.
