About Behind the Business with Michelle Toh
Behind the Business is a Webby Award-winning video podcast hosted by CNN and FORTUNE alum Michelle Toh that explores the decisions and philosophies behind some of today's most influential leaders. Its new season features the leaders of Airbnb, Rivian, NYSE, Samsung, Canva, Revolve, Peloton, Poppi and Away. The show is grounded in the belief that business is in fact personal, providing the backstories of founders, corporate leaders, investors and creators and how they push through to make the most of both work and life each day. This is not a fawning interview show. We pair deep research with thorough interviews — avoiding fluff and performative praise, while also keeping it fun! The show aims to be journalistically rigorous and visually compelling, with each episode ending with a rapid-fire round and connecting guests with young founders/ CEOs who send in a question. What's the worst day you've faced at your company? How do you cope with crisis or rejection? Or what's a pinch-me moment you'll never forget? In each episode, our guests get into it all. New episodes Thursdays.

[…] And that approach has not worked because we're not seeing the needle move with respect to women who are more engaged. And so that's why Ellevis was founded. We wanted to build something ground up, not take something that we have and change the marketing or what have you. And since inception, LFS mission has been to close the gender wealth gap, as we spoke about. It's now been more than 10 years. What did that gap kind of look like back then? And how does it compare to how it looks now? You know, what holds women back still when it comes to money? A lot of things holds women back. You know, part of it is I think they don't feel welcomed in the industry. […]
