Summary

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.
