Where the standard is tightening, in public.

Since 2017, I have had over 2,400 conversations with women in business about money, power, and what technology actually owes us. These essays are where I work that thinking through in real time. Check Your Default Settings is where that thinking landed clearest.

Money, sex and gender, and politics have never operated independently of each other in any woman's career, and 2,400+ interviews make that case in cumulative detail. The same thread runs through the Money, Sex & Politics podcast and throughout everything we are building inside Leading Ladies LLM.
