Summary

On this week's episode of Networth and Chill, I'm joined by NYT best selling author, viral speaker, and founder of Girls Who Code, Reshma Saujani. Reshma has an extensive career working with girls and women, and talking about what is holding them back in life. As the founder of Girls Who Code, Resham has seen the confidence gap between young girls face first hand, and has been working for years to try and bridge that gap. Women continue to face inequality in the workplace, and for women who choose to become mothers, that inequality only increases. I ask Reshma what disadvantages working women are facing today, and what we can do to combat them.

0:00.0	What's up, rich friends? Welcome back to Network in Chill with me, your host Vivian2,
0:11.0	aka YerwichBFF and your favorite Wall Street Curly. Today is just one of those days where I am
0:16.3	feeling myself. I'm feeling confident, beautiful, strong, and coincidentally, this morning I read
0:22.5	a headline that caught my attention. Women are more likely to bag $100,000 jobs despite fewer
0:28.7	applications. Specifically, fewer women than men apply for jobs that pay an annual salary of
0:34.1	$100,000 or more. But those who do are more likely to get higher than their male counterparts,
0:39.5	according to fresh data from recruiting software company ICIMS. And after reading that headline,
0:44.9	I felt like that kombucha meme. At first I was like, yay, that's awesome. And then I was like,
0:49.9	wait, hold up, why are we applying less often? Why are we doing that? Because basic logic would
0:56.1	imply that if we're applying less and getting the job more often, wouldn't applying at an equal
1:00.9	frequency as men mean even more women get high paying jobs? I was very torn. And reading these
1:07.2	news articles always brings me back to this one thought. Why weren't we taught to do this as young
1:12.0	women in school? Because this certainly was not on the syllabus. But I believe in lifelong learning,
1:17.8	and today I'm going to teach you about the confidence gap, working moms, and building a better
1:22.8	future. And there's nobody better to help guide us. The New York Times best-selling author,
1:28.0	viral speaker, and founder of Girls Who Code. Everyone, please welcome Reshma Sao Johnny.
1:33.2	Hi, so great to be here. Oh my gosh, Reshma, thank you so much for being on the pod. I am really,
1:39.2	really stoked to chat with you. I find you to be so inspiring. I'm a big fan. And I want to dive
1:44.0	right in. Your first, I will call it the claim to fame, was being the founder of Girls Who Code.
1:50.4	Why did you decide to start that? How did you know how to build it? Because there certainly
1:55.0	isn't a college course on how to start your own nonprofit 101. But look, I'll let you and then
