Ep. 316 Super Successful Entrepreneur Jenny Just believes POKER will teach you life skills!

I love this conversation with Forbes 50 over 50 entrepreneur Jenny Just. She talks about why EVERY woman needs to learn the game of poker- how it will help in just about every aspect of our lives. Jenny is cool as heck! Jenny Just co-founded PEAK6 in 1997 with $1.5M in seed capital as a proprietary options trading firm. Since then, she has grown it into a multibillion-dollar financial services and technology giant housing the next generation of products and service brands including PEAK6 Capital Management, PEAK6 Strategic Capital, Apex Fintech Solutions, PEAK6 InsurTech, and Zogo. Jenny and her co-founder have created or turned around more than 15 operating companies and made 100s of private investments. Jenny is passionate about finding opportunities for women to succeed at every table. This passion led her to launch Poker Power in 2020, a woman-led company that teaches poker to all who identify as female and by extension, teaches women strategic thinking, capital allocation, and decision-making skills. Additionally, Jenny has created programs to help women and underrepresented professionals advance their careers including the Women’s Trading Experience, Women’s Technology Experience and Fintech In Action. Jenny's remarkable success has earned her a number of accolades, including being named to Forbes’ list of America's Richest Self-Made Women, Forbes 50 over 50 and Worth’s Groundbreaking Women. She was also the recipient of the Women’s Poker Association’s Industry Innovation Recognition Award and received a Tony Award for her involvement in Memphis the Musical.
