The ladies had the opportunity to interview the incredible Wendy Davis LIVE on the SXSW podcast stage! If you’re not familiar with Wendy Davis, she is a former Texas senator and founder of the nonprofit Deeds Not Words. You may have heard of Wendy after she stood for 11 hours in the floor of the senate chamber in the Texas legislature to filibuster against highly restrictive reproductive rights in the state - single-handedly making pink tennis shoes a political fashion statement. Since then she’s started her own non-profit Deeds Not Words that unites women to drive change. Enjoy this show and get ready to feel empowered and ready to take action!

This week the ladies chat with someone they've wanted to have on the show pretty much since its inception, and that’s Jane Claire Hervey. If you live in Austin, you might have heard of a little organization she co-founded called BOSSBABESATX. If you’re not familiar - it exists to build educated, empowered and more equal communities. They host lectures and events from craft fairs to networking parties to festivals. She has a company called Group Work, which is a content creation studio. She’s also contributing columnist  at Forbes for  creative entrepreneurship and lifestyle design. Listen to hear how she handles being a leader, managing multiple projects/relationships, and why her favorite word is "practice". The ladies loved it. Subscribe!
