Notes from Chris
Episode 1692
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from Nikko Mendoza, who sells 3D printing templates. After he lost his job last year, he started taking his side gig more seriously—and business took off. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Meggie Palmer, founder of PepTalkHer. We first featured Meggie and PepTalkHer in Ep. #987: Foreign Correspondent Launches Career App. Both Meggie and her company are dedicated to closing the gender pay gap…. and it’s working! The app and PepTalkHer’s programs have helped 60,000 users (mostly women) negotiate a pay raise. What’s happened since? Listen to today's episode to hear Meggie's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
- Foreign Correspondent Launches Career App: A globetrotting journalist builds financial independence through a career-coaching app aimed at promoting gender equality.
- Google Employee Becomes Career Coach for “Analytically-Minded People”: While working at Google, a technical support employee gives unofficial career advice until her colleagues encourage her to start coaching more formally.
