In Episode #64 of the 2B Bolder Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing two bold, hardworking, career-driven women. Each of these women has built successful careers doing what they love. 

While still maintaining their passions, they are co-owners of Mancini Duffy, a national design firm with a 100+ year-old history and tech-forward approach specializing in architecture, planning, and interior design headquartered in New York City.

In addition to being co-owner, Bolanle Williams-Olley is the CFO of Mancini Duffy, Founder of She Builds Lives, She Builds Money, She Builds Waves, and Reach Nigeria, and best-selling author of Build Boldy: Chart Your Unique Career Path and Lead with Courage.

Right alongside her is Mancini's Design Principal and Co-owner, Jessica Mann-Amato, who was previously the NY Chapter President of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA). With over 20 years of client-focused design experience, she oversees workplace strategy, space planning, and interior design for the firm infusing technology into all facets of her design process. 

They discuss how to lead boldly, create a positive and inclusive company culture, and leadership tips. They are great examples of women always striving 2B Bolder! 

Tune in to hear their career stories, advice, and insights.
