Nice collection of podcasts

Never heard of the podcast before this. I’m quite curious. The stories were inspirational and relevant to the time. I enjoyed listening to them.

An amazing balance of seriousness and humor

It is difficult to interview anyone in Washington and get inside their heads and souls, while also capturing the full picture of who the person is outside their office. Shereen’s interview with Gretchen Whitmer does that in spades and sets the tone for the entire series. Audio production and quality of storytelling top-notch and the episodes themsleves strike the right balance of humor and objective seriousness at a time when the stories of these women deserve nothing less. An absolute podcasting masterclass and tour de force.

Relatable, helpful, and beautifully produced.

I'm struck by the intimacy of the exchanges, and a power to each episode that snuck up on me as I listened. That's no doubt due to Meraji's intelligence, wit, and warmth, and also great production quality.

This girl knows how to ask a question

If you like content about entrepreneurs and how they get it done, especially women entrepreneurs, and you like the real nitty-gritty then you’re gonna love this book. If you listen to how I built this by Guy Raz then you’re gonna love this book.

Invaluable Insights

Shereen Marisol Meraji brings her considerable talents of storytelling to uplift the unique experiences of incredible women representing the broadest cross-section of American life. Shereen’s ability to spotlight her interviewees while making the salient lessons they share relatable and accessible to the audience is special. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

Perspective and grace

What I like about these stories is that they highlight the struggle of these women got through in their careers rather than a giving a Disneyesque gloss to their stories.

I was reminded in struggle comes growth and it also makes the women more relatable and so inspiring vs lecturing.

And the conversations don’t drag. They are infused with humor and humaneness … and the series is well produced.

Loved it!

Great examples of women thriving through adversity. Every chapter was thoughtful and inspiring. I am looking forward to enjoying more works from the author.

Some Heroes Wear Capes

What an absolute honor and JOY to have Shereen Marisol Meraji back in our ears!! For those of us who have so missed hearing this beloved icon, good luck pacing yourself through these beautiful stories of inspiration, hope, and GRACE. Grace for yourself and others, that’s what struck me. No one on this planet interviews like SMM. No. Body! And the result is genuine, vulnerable moments of laughter, heart, intimacy and points of personal connection with every guest - from high profile politicians to fancy designers to teachers!! THAT’S what this storytelling genius DOES. For example, Gov Whitmer’s reasoning for setting her alarm at 5:02 instead of 5, I’m totally with her (+2 hours for me lol). So much work went into making this happen and you can HEAR IT! Some heroes wear capes, others wear (what I imagine to be a whole lot of) audio gear :). Congrats on this beautiful and moving show, to the team that made it happen, and to SMM’s vision, talent, and GIFT that we all get to enjoy. I kept thinking, someone should interview the badass host, she belongs in this lineup! Bonus episode? Peace!!

I was intrigued by the lives of these women!

Wonderful host and guests! I loved being able to take a look into the lives of these women.

Great Motivation

Such a diverse group and wide range of topics. Loved to hear other’s experiences and learn from so many different successful, hard working and bad ass women.
