About this podcast
A podcast connecting trailblazing women in business throughout the capital region of upstate New York – a community networking x creativity podcast for trailblazers by trailblazers. Each month a new woman in business takes over the show. They showcase what they're doing in business, what they've learned along the way while also keeping the audience up to date with the latest "hot takes" on what's happening in the news; a personal business lesson; and we also take a moment to rehash local lifestyle ongoings.
