Ep 417: The Entrepreneurial Path to Gender Equality with Luminary's CEO, Cate Luzio

Season #4 Episode #417

Welcome back to The Witch of Wall Street! This week I'm sharing with you a powerful rewind on an invigorating conversation I had with Cate Luzio, the trailblazing founder and CEO of Luminary. 

With over 20 years of leadership expertise up her sleeve, Cate made the bold leap from her corporate comfort zone to shape her own venture, all in the pursuit of empowering women and advocating for gender equality. Listen as she unpacks her entrepreneurial journey - the highs, the lows, the personal development, and the daily doses of motivation that fuel her mission. 

We're not just talking the talk, we're walking the walk with Cate as she emphasizes the need for concrete accountability in achieving gender equality. She shares insightful anecdotes from her own career, underscoring the importance of quantifiable data, and the transformative role of mentors and sponsors. Prepare to be inspired as Cate encourages younger generations to stand their ground, seek fair pay, and champion the rights of others.

The conversation takes an intriguing turn as we delve into the 'she-session', a term ingeniously coined by Dr. C. Nicole Mason, denoting the significant toll of the pandemic on women's employment. What can businesses do to counter this impact? Is there a silver lining in the face of adversity? Drawing from companies like Verizon, we study successful initiatives, the power of open dialogues and the profound importance of investing in management. 

Hear from Cate as she sheds light on how professional networks and collaboration play a crucial role in advancing gender equality. So, gear up, tune in, and be a part of this riveting discourse. Let's make a difference together!
