194. Erin Lydon: Surprising Skills Poker Teaches Women to Win in Business and Life

In today’s episode, you will hear from Erin Lydon, Managing Director and General Manager of Poker Power. A quote about Ginger Rogers says, "don't forget she did everything he did... backward and in high heels." It seems women are still working twice as hard for less reward. Erin is on a mission to change that by using a game dominated by men (and often stigmatized), to help women build skills and learn behaviors that allow them to find equal opportunity and success in their careers. Having experienced Wall Street as a pregnant woman and mother, Erin is all too familiar with the unreasonable and rocky landscape women navigate in the business world. Through Poker Power, Erin takes the hard lessons she learned and mentors other women to not only find their seat at their table but claim it confidently and unapologetically.
