| 0:53.3 | are either certified or in the process of getting certified with me. And we are going |
| 0:57.8 | to be talking about something that I feel like is one of those topics that gets like |
| 1:04.2 | rehashed over and over again in the media without anything new really being said, right? |
| 1:09.2 | Which is how people and especially women or femme oriented people can quote unquote |
| 1:15.1 | balance their career with everything else that doing in their lives. And we all know this |
| 1:19.5 | is a super gendered question that nobody even talks about with male CEOs, right? So all |
