The Inspiring Story Of How Katharine Graham Became America's First Female CEO Of A Fortune 500

from Make It To Midnight · host J.P. Hovey

I recently read the story about the hero of the Washington Post, Katharine Graham. She is one of the most resilient business leaders in American history and is the reason the Pentagon Papers were released. However her journey to the top of the business world was a long, treacherous one that should be admired and praised by the masses. Her secret? Keep your ego in check and never put yourself over the product. Katharine Graham's story has inspired me and I hope this short version of it can inspire you too. I highly recommend checking out the Amazon Prime documentary about her and listening to what Warren Buffet has to say about the icon. Thanks for being here and remember, MAKE IT TO MIDNIGHT
