We haven't seen a lot of women in tech.

We haven't seen a lot of people using technology, specifically as women.

So we don't look at it as a path for us.

Like, my mom's a teacher, my dad's a preacher, so I never saw a path into technology or even business, for lack of better word.

But like, there was no path in my mind for that until I saw

other opportunities for paths. Oh, I have a big mission driven heart. Well, people are using

technology to achieve mission driven accomplishment. Today I have Brooke Markovychis on the podcast. She is the author of the new book, The Future Built

by Women, creating a brighter tomorrow through tech and innovation, which is an incredible

handbook if you are starting a business of any kind, especially if it involves tech solutions.

So Brooke has been featured by Forbes and Fast Company. She was the creator, the founder of

Alibi, which became acquired. And Brooke and I met many years when she was a member of my

membership origin. And in today's episode, we talk about why women in tech, why women are here to build a more beautiful

future, how to work within the gems framework to build anything of meaning, how to use

community and lean into support, and also the difference between a bootstrapped business

and a venture-backed business,

positives and negatives about both and what you need to know if you are building to sell.

Enjoy the episode.
