In part 3 of our Women in Business series, we bust that myth wide open—showing that dedication comes from passion and purpose, not gender or circumstance. Listen to learn from the women who prove this extremely outdated opinion wrong.  Don't let anyone tell you who YOU are meant to be.

Welcome to Part 2 of our Women in Business series on the Growth & Grit Podcast, where we’re busting open long-standing myths that have held women back. In this episode, we tackle the stereotype that women are more risk-averse than men—a claim that’s less about gender and more about personality, upbringing, and experience.

We dig into real stories from bold businesswomen who’ve taken leaps, faced failure, and built success not by avoiding risk, but by approaching it with strategy. Whether you’re a man or a woman, your willingness to take risks isn’t written in your DNA—it’s shaped by confidence, clarity, and grit.

This episode is about rejecting limiting labels and owning your own leadership style—whatever that looks like.
