Summary

For years Sallie Krawcheck was one of the few famous women on Wall Street. She earned millions of dollars, had a huge office, and the use of a private jet. A few years ago, all that changed when she made the switch to entrepreneurship. In this interview we talk about the relationship between her gender and her firing from Citibank, why she won't shut up about diversity, stodgy company cultures, and handling sexism at work.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Broad Experience, the show about women, the workplace, and success. I'm Ashley Milne Tite.
0:14.1	This time, you're a powerful woman in a profession dominated by man. How do you react when a male
0:20.8	subordinate challenges you in front
0:22.6	of a group? I could have dressed him down. What would have happened then? He would have been
0:27.5	embarrassed, which would have been probably good, but so would everybody else have been. And you know
0:32.5	who would have gotten the blame for it, right? Because he was their bud. So it would have been me.
0:36.7	Coming up, an interview with Sally Crawcheck. For years, she was one of the few famous females
0:42.2	on Wall Street.
0:51.5	Before we get into the show, I want to mark this occasion, because this is the 100th episode of the broad experience.
0:58.7	I started producing the show in the spring of 2012.
1:02.4	If you're one of the early listeners, thanks so much for staying with me and the show all this time.
1:08.2	It's only five years ago, but things were quite different then. Women in the
1:13.5	workplace felt like a niche topic, even though it shouldn't have been given how many women work,
1:19.0	but now it's an international conversation. Things I used to talk about in the early shows,
1:25.2	like unconscious bias, these days it feels like everyone's
1:28.7	talking about that. In fact, there are so many blogs and podcasts and conferences on women and
1:34.9	work now. I have wondered lately, where do I fit into this? Is there still a place for this show
1:41.4	in the sea of content that's out there now. On the whole, I think
1:46.4	there is still room for the broad experience. There's certainly still a need to talk about this
1:51.3	stuff. There's a lot of black and white out there, but I'm more interested in the grey. I try to
1:57.6	keep these discussions thoughtful and nuanced. I'll never please everyone. You won't like all the guests you hear on this show. Maybe you won't always like what I say either. But that's part of the point. I don't want to have people with identical views on every episode. I want to make my listeners think. I want to make myself think and consider things from different points of
2:18.0	view. Anyway, thanks for listening and supporting this independently produced show for five years.
