Julia has been an on-air reporter for CNBC since 2006 and has interviewed many of the world’s most powerful executives & entrepreneurs. Julia is also the author of the book “When Women Lead: What They Achieve, Why They Succeed, & What We Can Learn From Them”. Her book is a deep dive on what Julia calls “odds-defying leadership” female leaders utilize to power some of the world’s most innovative & successful companies. In this conversation, Andrew & Julia explore her career & actionable lessons on high-impact leadership, the power of asking questions, turning your “outsider” perspective into an advantage, & so much more.  This conversation is a roadmap all of us can utilize to achieve more success in any personal or professional endeavor. Show Highlights:(0:00) - Intro(2:41) - Julia’s childhood(3:05) - Growth through challenges(5:08) - “Everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions”(7:50) - Early career (11:44) - Research process & organizing ideas(15:15) - Power of apprenticeship opportunities(19:06) - Julia’s book and research process(21:02) - Challenges for women raising venture capital(24:33) - Leadership lessons from top-performing execs(27:41) - How Katrina Lake became a “talent magnet”(31:36) - Vulnerability(33:47) - Gratitude & patience(36:17) - Growth mindset** Follow Andrew On Social Media **Twitter/X: @andrewhmosesInstagram: @AndrewMoses123Sign up for e-mails to keep up with Andrew's podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter
