What if you could stop leaning into your career, and instead could have the confidence to go all-in?

This week Erin talks with Erin Lydon, Managing Director for Poker Powher, a company that teaches women how to play Texas Hold’em and then helps them translate their newfound poker skills to compete and succeed in business, finance, and so much more.

Erin Lydon's career journey is a prime example of how life can take unexpected turns. She started in Wall Street, took time off to raise her daughters, and then made a triumphant return to a successful career. Her key to getting back into the workforce? Maintaining those vital connections and networks. The innovative company is now introducing newcomers to the world of poker and providing valuable skills that can be applied to business and finance. It's not just about being good at cards, it's also about keen observation and awareness of what's happening around you.

Erin Lydon is proof that with a little determination and the right skills, anyone can succeed in their chosen field.
