Summary

Gloria Romero is joining Guy Kawasaki on this week's Remarkable People podcast! Gloria is the author of Just Not That Likable: The Price All Women Pay for Gender Bias which shatters the glass ceiling in a sweeping takedown of gender bias at the workplace and the price women and society pay for the virulent, double standard of “the likability factor” that persists in the workplace. She exposes the link between success and likability that 21st-century women leaders face in politics and the workplace. Fantastic episode ahead!
