Show notes

Young women are among the most age-discriminated group in the workforce, and most of them don't even realize it's happening. On this week's episode of Broadlines, hosts Rae Williams and Natalie Lizarraga sit down with Jean and Sherry Lou, the sisters behind Spotify's number one business podcast Tiger Sisters, former Goldman Sachs, LinkedIn and Snap executives with MBAs from Harvard and Stanford.

From why being the only woman in the room means you end up doing the admin work that goes nowhere, to the "avocado ceiling" research that explains why women have a narrower window to prove themselves than men ever will, to what HR actually is and why you should never confess anything to them, this episode is packed with advice that could change how you move through your career starting today. Stay for the part where they break down the exact difference between a red flag manager and a green flag one, because the signs are more specific than you think.

You belong in that room. This episode will make sure no one can take that from you.
