No one gets to midlife without reinventing. Few do it as markedly (and well) as former lawyer turned novelist Angie Kim, author of best-selling, courtroom drama Miracle Creek, which expertly plumbs multiple plot themes ranging from immigration to special needs children, familial ties, and identity. We cover Angie’s move from Seoul, South Korea to Baltimore at age 11, to Harvard Law, to the multiple career pivots that made her a first-time author at 50. Plus, the myth of the perfect mom, how parenthood can help reframe your childhood, and what’s next in store for this literary supernova.

Venture capitalist Tracy Chadwell makes good bets – early investments include Beautycounter, recently valued at $1 Billion. But after facing the double-whammy of sexism and ageism in the venture capital world, Tracy made her biggest bet of all – launching her own investing fund, 1843 Capital. Now, she leads an all-female team in closing the gender investing gap and investing in diverse founders. 

Named one of Entrepreneur Magazine's "100 Powerful Women in Business," Tracy gives us a primer on venture capital and shares her take on why less than 3% of all VCs are women. Plus, she walks us through why Silver Tech--companies serving the aging consumer--represents the next great investment opportunity.

PULL UP YOUR BEACH CHAIR. We’re talking all things sunblock on today’s show. Because summer fun equals sun. And if you’re Generation Coppertone, baby oil, and silver tanning reflectors, sunblock has come a long way baby. 

Meet Valerie McMurray, the founder, and CEO of Soleil Toujours, a line of mineral-based, eco-friendly sun and skincare products. While pregnant, Valerie looked at the sunblocks on the market, saw their long list of chemicals, and thought, “thanks but no thanks.”

We dive into the benefits of mineral sunblock, learn how Valerie pivoted from a career in finance to launch a luxury sun care company, and hear about the two major setbacks that almost derailed her business. Plus, we talk eco-friendly packaging, ocean-safe ingredients, and what it means to be an earth-friendly product.
