This was a fascinating conversation with Li Jacobsen, spanning her career from her first job as a dishwasher at the University of Wisconsin, Eau-Claire, to her current bad-ass role as a CIO. Tons of lessons learned here, such as the importance of having a mentor and being willing to take calculated risks with your career, understanding the needs of the business and how you can support them as well as finding a sense of balance between work and family life. Li is super impressive - I recommended listening to the entire conversation!

This was a really fun interview with an extremely successful woman in Tech, Linh Lam. She found her way into technology via a stint at Accenture during a 'gap' year, and has been on the rise ever since. Lots of insights here, including being open to different perspectives and putting in the work so that your leader(s) will champion you. As always, the value of someone believing in your potential is critical, but Linh also stressed the importance of paying it forward. Definitely give this a listen!
