Fashionably Late is proud to release our Female Founder Series. Each week in April, Fashionably Late will feature a different female founder. From the tech space to the wellness industry, our four business leaders are eager to share their journey, advice, and fun personal tidbits. This week we have Caroline McCaffery, Co-Founder & CEO Her story is one about following your passions, using them to drive your professional trajectory, and trusting yourself to transform your career at any point. Driven by her desire to constantly learn and solve problems, Caroline has met job, career, and industry shifts with an openness integral for her success of founding her own company. Her adaptability and excitement for online privacy, her company's sector, will empower you to take the risks necessary for finding professional fulfillment. Starting her career when the .com bubble burst, Caroline has always been intrigued by and worked in the tech space. A lawyer by training, Caroline's first role as an attorney was at Gunderson Dettmer, a firm that works with startups in the tech and life sciences spaces. As a Corporate Securities Attorney, she aided startups with financing, often debt and equity, as well as mergers and acquisitions. Spending almost ten years with the firm, Caroline was able to get a lot of experience working with startups. Excited and challenged by supporting startups, in 2011, Caroline transitioned into her first in-house role. Still eager to work in tech, she joined the marketing and advertising automation company, Sailthru. She notes that she started this position at a transition moment in the internet space, as big data emerged as the leading technology. As Sailthru processed online users' data, Caroline recognized a problem: how could users ensure how/if their digital information would be protected? Following her budding curiosity in data while still staying in her industry of expertise (tech), Caroline shifted her focus as an attorney to commercial and privacy. These new interests in data security and privacy led her to seek another general counsel role at another tech start-up, Clarifai. She entered the AI facial recognition company in its early stages. She found her role morphing outside its job description, as she also supported the company's strategy and operations. By leveraging what she learned about startups while at a firm and as Sailthru's privacy-focused general counsel, as well as embracing her intuition and openness, Caroline became the VP of Business Affairs while retaining her General Counsel title. Continuing to focus on privacy law while tackling unfamiliar strategy-based challenges as VP of Business Affairs gave her “a taste of the entrepreneurial side of [her]self.” As the “type of person who loves to constantly learn new things,” she recognized that new challenges and new opportunities to develop solutions fuel her drive. In addition to expanding her hard skills while at Clarifai, Caroline also gained a much deeper understanding of AI and cybersecurity, contributing to her growing passion for technology and data privacy. From there, she developed a hunger to create tech to ameliorate issues affecting users' online protections. After meeting George Rosamond, her future co-founder and CTO, a conversation about anonymity online evolved into a problem they were determined to solve. The security questionnaires that companies send to potential vendors who process online information can 1000+ questions long, plaguing vendors. These are sent pre-sale and in some cases the vendor will spend hours to complete the questionnaire without even landing a sale! Since she and George clearly identified the challenge they wanted to solve and through discussions, discovered potential software solutions, it seemed as if the natural next step would be to start their B2B SAAS company, ClearOPS. They even had large goals for ClearOPS working as a “wheel in the spokes” type of mode, in which their services can connect other businesses and ultimately improve privacy communications. George was ready to commit full-time to transition their idea into an executed product. But starting a business is never linear. For Caroline, first came her “professional identity crisis.” Caroline wavered between staying at the job she loved, finding a new GC role, or following her dream to start ClearOPS. She asked, “Am I a lawyer? Am I capable of being a COO? .Or am I a founder?” As a lawyer, she is trained to circumvent risks. Pursuing a career marked by innumerous risks seemed like the choice to avoid. Even when she conducted extensive research to evaluate if there was a market for their security/privacy product- there was- she was still uncertain. Until one day at breakfast, she got the push needed to “take a leap of faith” to begin identifying as a founder. Listen to Caroline's journey of founding and becoming ClearOPS CEO and you will realize that you do not have to be just one career label, as she constantly adapted to execute whatever work she wanted to get done. You will be motivated by how she and George completely pivoted their initial model after taking potential investors' “fair critical feedback.” Despite ClearOPS losing its biggest deal during the pandemic, as CEO, Caroline again adjusted to the circumstance, conducting business so that their company finished the year with a product on the market and multiple customers. ClearOPS' founding story is one of balancing the line between following your passions and adapting to meet the needs of your business, ever-evolving market, and customers' needs. Both Caroline and ClearOPS continue to meet goals, providing the team confidence that ClearOPS will be a central player in the growing privacy tech space. A recurring theme in Caroline's narrative is that a passion for learning, then trying new things offers fulfillment and fuels success. Topics covered in this episode: Why it is in a startup's best interest to be proactive and hire a lawyer early Insight into evolutions within the internet space, including the emergence of big data and privacy A lawyer's take on overcoming and managing risk The different lessons learned from working at a firm, as an in-house GC, and as a founder The importance of leaning on your support network and only taking “fair critical feedback” Why execution is more imperative than conjuring an idea Links: https://www.clearops.io/

Standing tall, standing out We’re back with another electric episode of Dorothy and the Dealer, and this week Mitch and Mills are speaking with client (and hopefully soon to be Guinness World Record holder) Caroline Arthur. Having struggled for years with her purpose, Caroline felt like she’d lost herself to marriage and motherhood. Because her mum was a ‘successful’ housewife, she’d tried for years to fit that same puzzle piece to her own life. After a serious health scare though, Caroline ended up transforming her life, learning: - An understanding and love for herself - The knowledge to fill her cup first so she has something to give - A killer mission statement to work towards - The understanding that we don’t have just one purpose! For Caroline, shifting her perspective felt like she had “changed the colour of things”. There was no more blame. No more trying to know all the answers. And no more feeling like she had to be perfect. And then came the good stuff. A travel business. A trip to Japan. And even the chance to turn her long legs she once felt embarrassed by - into world record holders. So don’t miss this awesome story and remember there are new Podcast episodes each and every Sunday.
Caroline Scott's new novel is a 'Radio 2 Book Club Pick', high praise in British books, and is set in the murky time straight after the First World War. 'The Photographer of the Lost' sees Edie go in search of her "missing in action" husband Francis, after she receives a strange photograph in the post. It's a twisting, turning, slightly romantic mystery, which is a fantastic read.We talk about why Caroline is fascinated by history, how she projects her ideas with the few facts surrounding the 'blank canvas' of that era. There's brilliant chat about plotting, planning and what she does when she has the initial idea - how does she then develop it into 300+ pages?For Caroline, editing is where the story really comes alive, but she does find it the hardest part, picking through her beloved story to find the golden meat. We also chat about her fantastic writing spot, which I think... you may just be a teeny bit jealous of.If you enjoy the show, please do support us over at patreon.com/writersroutine.Any comments/ queries/ compliments?

Bryan Callen and today's guest, Caroline Criado-Perez, have very different feeeeeeelings about the word feminism. For Bryan, feminism is a bit of a dirty word which he associates with well-meaning but misguided Social Justice Warriors on a crusade to remake the world in denial of the facts. For Caroline, feminism is a noble cause that aims to make the world fair and equal for all regardless of gender. And yet, in spite of their feelings about the word feminism, the case that Caroline makes in her latest book "Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men" is so compelling that Bryan and Caroline found themselves agreeing on the premise of her book. From medicine to the design of smartphones to bathroom allocation to the temperature of office spaces, the world is based on the assumption that an ordinary human is male. The result is that women die unnecessarily of heart attacks and car crashes. They wait longer in line for bathrooms. They are constantly cold in offices while men find the temperature perfectly comfortable. Many men wonder why the women in their lives are always cold, as if it is some defect of their body's ability to regulate its internal environment. Rather than a failure of homeostasis among 50% of the population, women and men simply have different mean body temperatures and men have simply been setting the thermostats for their own comfort without consulting women or considering that they might have different needs. In every way and in every field of life, the world was designed by men and for men and women have suffered as a result. There's a saying in Washington D.C. that if you're not at the table, then you're on the menu. In other words, if you're not there helping make the decisions, then you're going to get eaten alive. For most of recorded history, the people calling the shots and making the design decisions have been men and women have been on the menu. Bryan, Caroline and Hunter all want to live in a world based on fair play. So, why would we spend our time arguing about our feeeeeeelings about the word feminism when we can devote our time and energy to solving the problem? With Caroline's book, we not only have a persuasive case. We have a recipe for action for how we can make a world that works better for all of us. Fair play isn't just about marches, elections and new legislation. It's also about making little decisions like where we set the thermostat into discussions.
Teaching our children about themselves, and helping them learn appropriate skills for interacting with others, especially those in special populations, is the focus of today’s show. It is also the subject of a new book being released today, by Caroline Maguire, and titled, Why Will No One Play with Me?: The Play Better Plan to Help Children of All Ages Make Friends and Thrive. Join Vickie, Amanda, and Caroline as they discuss the book and the results that you will be able to get out of it. Caroline is an ADHD coach, author, speaker, and mother of two beautiful children, who started her own journey of self-discovery when she was diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities when in the 6th grade. Learning coping techniques as a young child has given her valuable insight into the population she now chooses to coach. Show Highlights: “They would if they could.” Trust your gut if you observe your child not having the skills to make new friends or adapt to a new group. Our goal in life for social is that they’re happy and well-adjusted, and able to go out and do the things they need to do, to have choices. There is a tool in the book called, “Flavors of Friendship”, which teaches an easy way to have hard conversations. This covers 2 things heard most from parents: Tell me who their friends are, because they don’t have any friends. The kids who think they have a lot of friends, but they’re just acquaintances or people they say ‘hello’ to. Introverts may only want a friend or two, but they should have the skillset to make that choice. Caroline discusses the type of child who is most likely to be bullied, and the actions we should take. Caroline’s goal in writing this book, and the one thing she saw missing from other parenting books, was sharing the “how” behind the tips. Explaining the reason behind a request can change a non-compliant child into a compliant one. The technique used in this book is called “open questions”, and is used by all life coaches. For example, you might ask, “What makes this important to you?” Even little children have reasons for everything. They can sometimes be illogically logical! Links/Resources: Thank you for listening!

The life of an actor is never easy, so it's not surprising that many early Broadway stars made a point of vacationing in solitude on Long Island whenever they could. You might be surprised, however, at the prevailing working conditions and labor strugles they were often performing under in early 20th-cenutry theater. While the fast-growing industry was lucrative for producers like the Shuberts and Belascos, it offered many hardships for those who worked in front of and behind the curtain. Caroline Propersi-Grossman, a PhD candidate in history at SUNY Stony Brook, walks us through these labor struggles and their culmination in the Actors' Equity strike of 1919. With scenes including Ethel Barrymore and W.C. Fields on the picket line to George M. Cohen in the role of strike-breaker, it's a story that encapsulates much of labory history and the greater turmoil of 1919. For Caroline, this is backdrop to her dissertation, The Creative Hands: Stagehands, Their Union, and the Backstage/Frontstage Divide, which is a gendered labor history that focuses on the relationship between work, culture, gender, and race in New York City's entertainment industry between 1945 and 1995. Caroline served as the Stony Brook University chief steward for the Graduate Student Employees Union/Communications Workers of America Local 1104 and is currently organizing with Service Employees International Union 1199.

Redundancy isn't the end. It's a new beginning. For Caroline that meant retuning and retraining from radio to design.

Family Confidential: Secrets of Successful Parenting with Annie Fox, M.Ed.
Our culture pressures mothers to conform to an ideal of "good mom." When our children are little we are often too busy with caregiving to think about who we are. As kids reach the point in their development where they aren't as dependent, we may find ourselves with more time for ourselves. According to Life Coach Caroline Greene, this new chapter of parenting can be accompanied by a "deflation and a loss of identity and feelings of loneliness, isolation, and confusion." For Caroline, ten years out of law school, she was still in the kitchen. She loved the life she and her husband built for their family, but she "wasn't happy or fulfilled." On top of that, because she knew she was so fortunate, she felt guilty. Annie talks with Caroline about honestly asking ourselves, not only "What kind of person do I want to be raising?" but also (and equally important) "What kind of person do I want to be?" **Special offer for Family Confidential podcast listeners: To get a free copy of Caroline Greene's book "MATTER: How to Find Meaningful Work That's Right For You And Your Family" simply email Caroline@CarolineGreeneCoaching.com and put the word "Matter" in the subject line. About Caroline Greene (@CarolineKGreene) A self-proclaimed "recovering lawyer, chronic overachiever, and passionate truth-teller" Caroline Greene is crazy about helping women build lives that truly matter to them. A former prosector and big-firm litigator, and a stay-at-home mom turned life coach, Caroline knows first hand what it feels like to "get stuck into someone else's definition of success and what it feels like to lose your identity when you decide that definition might not be what you want anymore."
