a space, a place for us on the airwaves.
Speaker:
There are lots of great podcasts out there, but how about for those of us that
Speaker:
have reached a certain age and a certain stage in our life and our business, and we

Speaker:
continue to lift as we climb, as we figure out what we want more of now in our life.
Speaker:
Our community values collaboration and collective wisdom and celebrating
Speaker:
each other as we grow and we increase our influence and our impact.
Speaker:
We're redefining what women of a certain age means and we're redefining what

Speaker:
together, we're going to create that.
Speaker:
It's my honor to share with you my own experiences and perspective, and
Speaker:
to bring to this platform, incredible seasoned women who are serious about
Speaker:
business to share their own pearls of wisdom, be candid about what trips
Speaker:
them up, and where they are finding challenges at this time in their life.
Speaker:
We all have so much in common.
Speaker:
We're business owners, but we are women also.
Speaker:
We're mothers.
Speaker:
We're grandmothers, some of us are even great grandmothers.
Speaker:
There are so many who are looking to us for leadership,
Speaker:
and for examples to follow.
