Smart Women I Know

by Ellen Barnett

I've spent a career getting into people's heads, as a writer, a strategist, and a natural empathisizer to, well, basically everyone and everything. If I can say I've gained one thing it's that I've met a lot of really smart, clever, ingenious women who've accomplished a lot in their careers, but usually it's through a story that's even more interesting, inspiring and compelling. These are the women I know you'll want to meet. The women who, with humor, grace and a great deal of knowing see the world and work in the world creating profound change, big and small. These are the women you wanna know. Really. Just listen.

Episodes

  1. Pam Pleasants

    Pam Pleasants comes from 3 generations of thinkers and educators. Extraordinarily funny and gracious, her presence is one to be reckoned with. You can't help but enjoy yourself when you're with her. I promise you you will.

  2. Elyse Pine

    At one time, women like Elyse Pine would have been called Spitfires or 'Go getters', because Elyse is one pure kinetic ball of inspired, well focused energy. Speaking with her one can't help but come away with a sense of possibility and opportunity.

  3. Gwen Foreman

    Gwen Foreman is the kind of fun, interesting, honest woman that would make it as fun to work with as it would be to share a cocktail. Take a minute and listen as Gwen and I talk work, life and why a blank twitter feed will not mean the end to your career.

  4. Jasmine Martirossian

    Jasmine Martirossian is an enigma; an always fascinating mix of wisdom, humor, and grace driven by one of the most powerful minds I know.

  5. Lonsdale Koester

    Lonsdale Koester likes to ask more than answer; listen more than talk. She's now Policy Director for Gubernatorial Candidate Jay Gonzalaz. There's a delightful story behind all her accomplishment.

  6. Raquel Rosenblatt

    Raquel Rosenblatt is deceptive. Unassuming, deferential and kind to almost a fault, one would never suspect that under such an approachable veneer lives a powerhouse of a success story.

  7. Erin Webster

    How does a girl from a small Rhode Island town become one of the key drivers of a transformative biotech start up? Prepare to meet Erin Webster and get inspired.
