WBDC CEO Fran Pastore was recently appointed Board Chairperson for the Connecticut Paid Leave Authority. In this episode of Courageous Conversations Fran sits down with Nancy Barrow, host of The Paid Leave Podcast. Of course, they discuss WBDC's work and why Fran is so passionate about CT's paid leave program, but they also cover the need for more women in leadership positions, small business funding and why it's still easier for men to access capital, and so much more. 

This podcast was previously released as the latest episode of The Paid Leave Podcast, which examines the state of Connecticut's paid leave program and the impact it has on various groups and diverse communities. You can find The Paid Leave Podcast on Apple Podcasts. To learn more about Connecticut's paid leave program, visit ctpaidleave.org.
