On today’s show I welcome Gina Hadley, co-founder of The Second Shift and champion for women in business. She shares her story of growing up a New York City kid to founding a company that is owned by, run by, and focused on women with the goal to keep women working and smash the idea that everybody has to tow the same line. 

We talk through:

• Gender dynamics and the way she “got into the room” and made herself visible.  
• The transitional moment in her life that changed her professional trajectory. 
• How she uses her company to create a pathway for women in the professional world. 
• The challenge outside funding can present to a new business and how Gina worked around that path. 
• Why she thinks New York is an extraordinary city for female entrepreneurs. 
• The over-achiever model and the common thread among women starting a business. 
• Her big advice for women who are thinking about stepping out of the business world. 
• And more!
