Women often have a blur of busy days — going from meetings and important phone calls to the grocery store or soccer practice. It often feels like the day goes by in a blink of an eye. This, of course, leaves many of us feeling drained at the end of the day, or inspired to push off our most important tasks to next week — or we forget about them completely.  So how can we better juggle our busy work days, the challenges of raising a family, and all of the other tasks in-between, while still making time for fun? Laura Mae Martin has cracked the code. She’s Google’s Executive Productivity Officer, and she coaches Google’s top executives on time management and efficiency.  She offers her take on how to cut out time-suck meetings once and for all, and why discovering our “power hours” does wonders for our creativity and productivity.  Takeaways: Manage your email inbox like doing laundry - sort, prioritize, and focus on one task at a time. Use the list funnel method to organize tasks and prioritize based on timeframes. Limit and optimize meetings by setting agendas, evaluating their necessity, and providing feedback. Identify your power hours and schedule important tasks during those times for maximum productivity.  Minimize multitasking and manage email effectively to improve productivity.

There’s been a major shift in the fashion industry over the past few years, with a noticeable shift away from Fast Fashion. H&M, once a stock market darling, is now well below 50% of its all-time high. This, in no small part, comes from the concern over the waste emanating from the fast fashion pieces that now fill our landfills. Jensen Neff and Ellie Chen found out just how much fabric goes to waste in the fashion industry (14 million pounds of fabric daily, to be exact) and created their sustainably sourced clothing brand Oddli as their senior capstone project at Stanford. Fast forward to today, they’ve grown into a multi-million dollar profitable brand. Listen in to hear how they used social media to build a following from the start, and their best advice for other young female founders. Takeaways:  The fashion industry is shifting away from fast fashion and embracing second-hand retail due to concerns over waste. Oddli was founded by Jensen Neff and Ellie Chen, who met at Stanford University and shared a passion for creating ethically sourced clothing that promotes community connection. Oddli sources excess fabric, known as deadstock, from warehouses in downtown LA to reduce fabric waste in the fashion industry. The founders of Oddli believe in staying true to their vision and have chosen a non-traditional approach to fundraising and scaling their business.  Balancing ethical production and affordability is a challenge in the fashion industry, but transparency and education can help consumers understand higher price points. Social media platforms like TikTok can be powerful tools for brand growth and reaching a wide audience. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Shift Away from Fast Fashion 01:21 Introduction to Oddli  10:23 Sourcing Raw Materials and Accessing Excess Fabric 15:50 Ignoring Conventional Wisdom in Fundraising 23:38 Navigating the Industry as Female Founders 31:22 Ambitions for the Future Join us!

Over the past 10 to 20 years, the sharing economy has taken over: In many ways, renting and returning is now our way of life. Think about it: We stay in strangers’ homes via Airbnb and VRBO, we borrow books on Kindle, Zipcars are viable alternatives to owning a car, and we rent a different dress for every wedding or event so we never have to be Instagrammed wearing the same thing twice.  But what about renting things for the smallest members of your family? Fran Maier, CEO and founder of BabyQuip, has made that possible. With BabyQuip, traveling families can rent high-quality everything from cribs and toys to car seats for when they’re on the go.  Listen in to hear Maier’s advice as a serial entrepreneur, her biggest regret when selling Match.com, and her hope for the future of female-founded companies.

Music is ever-present in our lives, from our morning exercise routines until bed. And we all have a "life soundtrack" of songs that transport us to a moment or an era — one note and you're right back there. Music is also a multi-billion dollar business. But who runs this business? Despite so many of the biggest performers being women, the industry itself has long suffered from a lack of women and diversity — not only on the talent side but also on the executive side.  One of the most powerful longstanding players in this business is Jody Gerson, Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group. She’s the first woman ever to hold the position at a major music publisher, and since joining UMPG in 2015, she’s transformed the company, which has now surpassed $2 billion dollars in revenue. Listen to how she got her start in the music industry, how she can tell the difference between a mediocre song and a hit, and why she is working to make the industry more inclusive for women.  Join us!

Let’s just admit it: Being a working mom in America is absolutely exhausting. Today, millions of women in our country are struggling to pay for their children’s care while they maintain their spot in the workforce. At the same time, American women are also fighting against the so-called “Motherhood Penalty,” which means that mothers earn just 58 cents for every dollar paid to fathers.  Allison Robinson found herself — like many women! — questioning whether or not it was even possible to have both a family and a career. So, she decided to do something about it. She left her job at Procter & Gamble to start “The Mom Project,” which is now the leading digital marketplace for moms offering hiring, education, and retention solutions. Listen in to learn more about her mission to connect moms with jobs that work with their schedules, and how women can stay engaged in the workforce while taking career breaks.  Join the HerMoney community!

There are countless situations in which risky behavior can be detrimental to your life. But there’s one area though, where risk can be a very good thing — sometimes life-changingly incredible. That’s with entrepreneurship and your career. In fact, not taking risks is arguably one of the riskiest things you can do in your career, and perhaps no one knows this better than Pinky Cole, owner of Slutty Vegan, and author of “I Hope You Fail: Ten Hater Statements Holding You Back From Getting Everything You Want.”  Pinky Cole knows exactly what it means to take risks in her career, fail, and get back up again.

Fast forward to today, and she’s the owner of the multimillion-dollar vegan empire Slutty Vegan. Our favorite bit of Pinky Cole brilliance from this conversation? “The sky is not the limit, there’s so much more beyond it.” We couldn’t agree more.  Join us!
