Show Notes

You are a woman pursuing an impressive career in male dominated industry – don’t let fear or frustration deter you from your dreams. 

In this episode Gillian Muessig, the CEO of Outlines Venture Group and co-founder of Moz, shares how she constructed an impressive career in the Venture Capital industry, and how you can do the same. 

“Be unabashed, unapologetic, and unafraid.” Gillian gives advice to all female entrepreneurs, not just those working in the VC industry. She recounts her personal experiences, and invites you to learn from her mistakes. Gillian touches on important topics like working alongside those who understand and share your goals and investing in women led, gender diverse companies and teams, and how these decisions impact the workplace for the better. 

While the gender imbalance in the workplace might be a fact, it certainly is not what dictates the outcome of your career! The keys to being a successful female entrepreneur reside in self-confidence and crafting meaningful connections in the workplace, and Gillian teaches us the power in striving for both.
