Hi everybody, welcome to WINK, Women I Need to Know, hosted by Amelia and Maggie. The podcast where we shine a spotlight on women breaking barriers across industries.
Each episode, we dive into the stories behind their success, how they got there, the tough trade-offs they made, and what they wish they'd known at the start. We'll also review innovative products from women-led companies and highlight the freshest female-founded startups.
The best part, when you listen, you don't just hear their stories, you become part of their network.
So whether you're graduating college or embarking on a new career in your 40s, our guests are women you need to know.
