Two Unlikely Friends Challenge Sexism in Silicon Valley in Lainey Cameron's “The Exit Strategy” In this episode 224, we visit with Lainey Cameron, #1 Amazon bestselling author of “The Exit Strategy,” a powerful and satisfying tale of two women brought together by the misdeeds of one duplicitous man and the friendship forged from their shared anger. Ryn Brennan and Carly Santos are both bright and accomplished women in male-dominated fields, and therefore familiar with the subtle and not-so-subtle sexism that comes along with the job. After discovering that Ryn's husband and Carly's fiancé are one and the same, the two women band together to overcome heartbreak and ensure their mutual success. Jennifer Klepper, the USA Today bestselling author of “Unbroken Threads,” had this to say about the book, “A #metoo story powered by real life, real hope, and an unlikely friendship between two women who find their true strength when they join forces to fight an entire industry steeped in sexism and one man who wronged them both. With smart prose and the insight of someone who's been in the trenches, Cameron brings warmth and emotion to this Silicon Valley story of power, ambition, and friendship.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network
