Episode notes

Ruth Smith has been a tech leader since the dot-com boom — when it wasn’t so typical for women, especially those with kids, to be tech leaders. Throughout her career, she’s been a natural mentor and coach to those around her, and she’s now focusing those innate gifts on coaching people through career transitions. 

She emphasizes how important it is to be intentional in building a meaningful career that aligns with personal values. She believes in the power of coaching to help individuals identify their unique strengths and navigate the job market. 

We had a great conversation, and there’s so much any female entrepreneur can learn from Ruth!
