    Exposing the Dark Side and Hidden Threats of Technology with Laurie Segall, the Investigative Tech Journalist

    On the SUPERWOMEN podcast, I’m sitting down with Laurie Segall, the founder of Mostly Human Media and a former senior technology correspondent and editor-at-large at CNN. Throughout her award-winning career, Laurie has investigated the dangers of technology, and has interviewed some of the most powerful figures in Silicon Valley, like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey.  Laurie had always dreamt of being a journalist and started at the bottom of the newsroom as a CNN intern. Fast-forward several years, and she was leading the organization’s tech coverage at one of the most pivotal moments in modern history—the rise of social media. Her groundbreaking reporting has shed light on some of the most terrifying consequences of the digital era, including unregulated A.I. chatbots, tech addiction, revenge pornography, and more. After she spent nearly a decade at CNN, at the top of her game, she left it all behind in 2019 to start her own media company, where her work has continued her push for a safer future. She has also written a memoir, “Special Characters: My Adventures with Tech’s Titans and Misfits,” an unflinching look at how she built her career alongside the tech startup nerds turned giants, who have shaped the world as we know it today. In this episode, Laurie shares her best advice for women who feel intimidated by the challenges of starting a business, the YouTube video that inspired her to quit her dream job, and how she plans to take on her latest target: MrDeepFakes.

    Being Your Own Mr. Big, with Candace Bushnell, the Creator of “Sex and the City” and Real-Life Carrie Bradshaw

    Welcome to the Morning After Series on SUPERWOMEN, sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream! In this four-part series,Candace Bushnell, the creator of “Sex and The City,” and I are going to be chatting about everything from career and adulting to relationships, friendships, and, of course, love (or the struggle to find it) here in New York City. Plus, we’ll have some awesome guests joining us on the podcast. Candace first captured the lives of beautiful, ambitious, single women in the city through her column in theNew York Observer, which later became the basis of her bestselling book and hit HBO series. But, before “Sex and the City” became one of the biggest cultural phenomenons in modern history, it was simply the reality of Candace and the women around her—navigating life in a city full of all kinds of possibilities.  In this episode, Candace dives into the lasting impact of her work, the pains of modern dating, why successful women still struggle to find great men in Manhattan, and what it means to be your own Mr. Big. She also gives us the scoop on who she thinks the Carrie Bradshaw of today is, what series she thinks is the “SATC” for Gen Z, and her upcoming one-woman show, “True Tales of Sex, Success, and Sex and the City.”  Magnum Double Raspberry bars are the perfect indulgent treat for chocolate and fruit lovers this Valentine’s Day!

    Reinventing the Parenting Playbook with Chelsea Hirschhorn, the Founder and C.E.O. of Frida

    On the SUPERWOMEN podcast, I’m sitting down with Chelsea Hirschhorn, the founder and C.E.O. of Frida, to talk about how her company prepares women, and parents in general, for the raw realities of raising children. Chelsea launched Frida Baby, in 2014, with the NoseFrida, a handy tool she’d used on her own young child when they were sick with a cold. When she realized how much more effective and hygienic it was compared with other products on the market, she knew she wanted to share it with the world. The company launched Frida Mom in 2019, and, just last year, she took it another step further with Frida Fertility. Her company has exploded with an innovative product line that supports parents in every stage of their journeys, from the moment that they think about having a child all the way through their postpartum recovery and beyond. In this episode, Chelsea dives into the importance of establishing trust with your consumers and helping them to feel seen and understood, what it’s like to go into business with your spouse, and she shares the one thing we would be surprised to know about her.

    Building the Business and Life of Your Dreams with Kathleen Griffith, a Bestselling Author and Entrepreneur

    On the SUPERWOMEN podcast this week, I’m joined by Kathleen Griffith, an award-winning business strategist and bestselling author, to talk about her book, “Build Like a Woman: The Blueprint for Creating a Business and Life You Love,” and her path to empowering female entrepreneurs. Kathleen started her career in corporate, working for big advertising agencies, but felt that her work was engineering insecurity in women rather than emboldening them to do more. She left and founded her own companies: BUILD, a global platform that guides women in transforming their businesses and lives, and Grayce & Co, a female-focused marketing and media consultancy. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, including TIME Magazine, Forbes, The New York Times, Business Insider, and The Wall Street Journal, and she has been recognized as a “Top 40 Disruptor” by ADWEEK, “Leading Woman in Business” by Fast Company, “Creative Innovator” by Condé Nast, “Most Powerful Woman” by Fortune, and more. In this episode, she reflects on finding opportunities in life’s challenges, building confidence through setting and achieving goals, and why we, as women, need to forge the right mindset—not just the skillset—to turn our dreams into a reality.

    Staying True to Yourself and Your Vision with Tiffany Masterson, the Founder of Drunk Elephant

    This week, I sat down with Tiffany Masterson, the founder of the skincare company Drunk Elephant, on the SUPERWOMEN podcast to talk about the importance of staying committed to your purpose while growing your business.  Before she started the company, Tiffany recognized in herself a deep passion for using her creativity to help others. She’d been asked for skincare recommendations by her friends, and began to look into common ingredients found in skincare products. Her research journey led her to realize how many of the ingredients were unnecessary and could lead to issues like inflammation. In 2013, she launched Drunk Elephant with a focus on clean and simple formulas. The business, which she founded as a stay-at-home mom, became one of the leading and fastest-growing brands in the clean beauty movement. It was acquired by Shiseido for $845 million, in 2019. In this episode, Tiffany takes us through her journey and shares insightful tips on how to use doubt and fear as motivation, who to bring onto your team, and when to ask for help.

    The Power of Poker: How Poker Empowers Women to Win at Life with Jenny Just Co-Founder & Managing Partner of PEAK6 and Co-Founder of Poker Power

    What do the boardroom, your love life, and a poker table have in common? According to self-made billionaire Jenny Just, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of PEAK6 and Co-Founder of Poker Power, they’re all places where women can learn to play—and win. From being one of the few women on the Chicago Board Options Exchange trading floor to founding and leading a fintech empire, Jenny’s journey has been anything but ordinary. But it’s her passion project, Poker Power, co-founded with her daughter, that’s changing the game for women everywhere. Poker Power is a revolutionary company teaching women and girls to play poker in a safe and empowering environment. In Jenny's opinion, every woman should learn to play poker, not just for the thrill, but to become a powerful player in the real world. Poker teaches risk-taking, negotiation, and strategic thinking—skills that give women confidence and an edge in male-dominated spaces. From boosting boardroom performance to improving personal relationships, poker is the key to unlocking success in all areas of life. With a mission to teach one million women and girls the art of poker, Jenny is creating a movement that equips women to claim their seats at every table.  Thanks for listening!  Don't forget to order Rebecca's book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success.

    From Handbags to Haute Couture: Overcoming Fashion Industry Hurdles, Reframing Failure, and the Power of Persistence with Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger

    As a designer, breaking into the fashion industry can be challenging even when you have the best connections. Success requires grit, determination, resilience, and the ability to keep getting back up after failures and setbacks. Just ask Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, Founder & Creative Director of Dee Ocleppo and Creative Director of Judith Leiber. Although Dee lovingly refers to herself as Mrs. Hilfiger and is married to fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger, Dee has still had to work just as hard in the fashion world to make a name for herself. Dee started her career as a model and after meeting Tommy he encouraged her to try her hand as a fashion designer. Since then, she has created many things, including a handbag line she sold to Kate Spade and her namesake brand which includes handbags, a shoe line (soon to be retired), and her recently launched clothing line.  Dee also serves as creative director for iconic legacy brand Judith Leiber and has had major viral moments with the brand's revitalization. While Dee is currently going through a transitional phase of letting go in order to make way for new growth, she has learned to remain patient and knows that if one thing doesn't work out, another will.
