What if the biggest economic revolution in history is already underway... and women are leading it?

In this landmark episode, Angela Gennari sits down with Dr. Don Barden... globally recognized behavioral economist, leadership expert, and author of the #1 Amazon bestseller Here Come the Girls — for a conversation that is part data, part revelation, and completely unmissable.

Dr. Barden spent nearly five years conducting doctoral-level research on women in leadership around the world. What he found will change the way you see business, culture, and your own future.

In this episode you'll discover:
— Why women-led businesses outperform male-led businesses 3-to-1 in revenue and profit
— The three-step leadership formula female executives use that men almost never do (sympathy → empathy → empowerment)
— Why 94% of employees who bring a problem to their boss already know how to solve it — and what happens when leaders trust that
— The science behind why your energy arrives before you do (and lingers after you leave)
— Why women-led businesses have double the employee retention — and why productivity actually goes UP in years 4, 5, and 6
— How collaboration is replacing mergers and acquisitions — and why women are driving that shift
— Dr. Barden's bold forecast: a coming economic boom bigger than the agricultural, industrial, and dot-com revolutions combined
