Episode 09: Sarah Hesz

Paying Yourself, The Gender Gap and Kindness at Work

My guest this week is Sarah Hesz, co-founder at Mush. Sarah and Katie are on a mission to keep women sane and happy through motherhood by providing connection and community though the Mush app.

In this episode, we talk about the gender gap in startups and investing, particularly when it comes to women’s confidence and pitch styles. We discuss the importance of paying yourself as a founder and how better childcare can address gender inequality. We also explore how we can all make our workplaces better for parents and bring some kindness back to work.
