NeverTheLess, She Persisted

Approaching finance with empathy not only improves our chances at success but really can open doors you never thought possible. Lets take a different look at wealth management as women and hear how we can use our intrinsic traits to leverage our success!

In this week’s episode we are so appreciative to speak with Jody Yuzik, a nurse and Manager, working her way through a global pandemic. We discuss all things from how she leads a team of care workers in the Fraser Health Authority that have nearly zero fuel left in their tank, and yet the resiliency and tenacity Nurses bring with them everyday. We discuss what is needed from our Leaders in the Healthcare Sector as well as how Jody juggles that so called, work life balance being a mom of two boys and a wife.

In this week’s episode we have the privilege of sitting down with another resilient Woman Entrepreneur, Wendy Pham. Wendy is the owner of two beauty salons in White Rock, BC, and she isn’t letting Asian Hate Crimes or Covid-19 stop her from reaching her dreams. In this episode we talk about what has sustained her growth over the years.

“I am creating jobs, for my employees to feed their families” – Wendy Pham, Owner of OPN (Ocean Park Nails)  & 16th Avenue Beauty Salon.

The future of project management is changing, growing & fast. On this episode of NeverTheLess, She Persisted, we talk with esteemed PMP, Lana Hackl, PMP with Cubic Farms.

In this episode I have the privilege of a raw and grassroots conversation with Asha, a Black Woman Entrepreneur in the food industry. Asha shares her personal story of getting to where she is today as well as some of the challenges along the way and some new challenges she faces with the recent movement of engaging “black owned businesses”.

Asha’s colleague and friend Jess Musoke shares her personal insights in the race discussion as a Jewish Mom raising half black kids and what that looks like in the school system.

Oh, and there’s the moment where I basically get “called out” for my early-on unconscious biased towards black folk. It’s not as cringe-worthy as I make it out to sound; but have a listen, subscribe and let us know what you thought!
