Starting a company from scratch during the dot-com bust, building it into a global transportation management software leader, and selling it in a headline-making deal would be an endpoint for many entrepreneurs. For Monica Wooden, it was the start of a new chapter. In this conversation, Wooden shares stories with the podcast’s host and Truist Wealth Co-Chief Investment Officer Oscarlyn Elder about the early experiences that sparked her entrepreneurial drive, her “win-win-win” philosophy, the resilience it took to navigate setbacks in the past, and how she’s expressing her values through philanthropy in the present.
