In this special episode of the DMI Podcast for International Women’s Day, host Taz Kelleher speaks with Areej AbuAli, founder of Women in Tech SEO, and Maeve Kneafsey, entrepreneur, host of the Transform Gov podcast, and long-time leader in digital and public sector innovation.
They share practical lessons from building communities, scaling businesses, securing funding, and leading with clarity in a fast-moving industry. This conversation is full of grounded advice about confidence, decision-making, community building, and the shift that AI is creating for founders.
Top 3 tips from Areej & Maeve
- Be decisive and stop waiting for perfect conditions: Progress comes from action, not from over analysis.
- Push yourself forward: Say yes to opportunities, speak on stages, and treat visibility as core to leadership.
- Build and invest in community: The right network accelerates your business, your learning, and your confidence.
