About this listen
We all need to think more like entrepreneurs. Seeking and seizing opportunities, boldly taking risks, quickly changing course - achieving success today requires the kind of action-first, fake-it-'til-you-make-it ethos celebrated in the tech industry.
This formula is not typically a female one. Women tend to be cautious. We overthink our next moves, become paralyzed by fear, and simply don't act. We might be safer...but we're also stuck.
But, what if women embraced the startup model? What if we had the confidence to take chances, even if we knew we may fail fabulously? What if instead of agonizing over which step to take, we leapt forward quickly? Fearless and Free empowers women, showing us how we can all use lessons from Silicon Valley to pivot in our careers - and unlock a world of possibilities.
Author Wendy Sachs talked to a wide range of women who faced down fears, roadblocks, and failures...to reinvent themselves. Spanning industries and ages - from media maven Jill Abramson to Aminatou Sow of the Tech LadyMafia - the book weaves their insights and experiences together with current research and actionable advice. You'll learn how to:
- Capitalize on your skills and expand them
- Grow comfortable with being uncomfortable
- Sell your story
- Engineer serendipity
- Nurture your network
- Shake off setbacks
- Brand yourself - without bragging
- Build momentum
- Compete with digital natives
- And more
Being disciplined is no match for being disruptive. Whether you want out of a shrinking industry or into a business of your own creation, Fearless and Free helps you dream big - and act now.

Women of color comprise one of the fastest-growing segments in the corporate workforce, yet often we are underrepresented—among the first, few, or only ones in a department or company. For too long, corporate structures, social zeitgeist, and cultural conditioning have left us feeling exhausted and downtrodden, believing that in order to “fit in” and be successful, we must hide or change who we are.

Women Who Don’t Wait in Line is an urgent wake-up call from politico and activist Reshma Saujani. The former New York City Deputy Public Advocate and founder of the national nonprofit Girls Who Code argues that aversion to risk and failure is the final hurdle holding women back in the workplace. Saujani advocates a new model of female leadership based on sponsorship - where women encourage each other to compete, take risks, embrace failure, and lift each other up personally and professionally.

Traditionally, the word “mogul” has been attributed to men. But Tiffany Pham has redefined it - now, when you Google the word, the top search result is the company she founded: Mogul. The platform enables millions of women, across 196 countries, to connect, share information, and access knowledge. So how did a young woman - who arrived in the United States without speaking a word of English - turn a dream of connecting women into a fulfilling career and highly profitable company that has changed so many lives?

The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career. The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.

The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career. The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.

So how do you break free from the drudgery and achieve more success on your own terms? You hustle.

Women are notorious over-preparers and underestimators when it comes to their own readiness to try something new. But as Emma teaches, what most often holds us back are our own fears, excuses, and doubts. With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It, Emma shares a rallying cry for all women to “do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again”.

Some good points here
The author uses some of her own experience but mostly stories from other people. There's nothing wrong with that but I would have preferred a more objective perspective of these as research more than how they were presented. Wendy Sachs obviously has wonderful insight and I'm glad she shared it. Many points from her and her friends' anecdotes are helpful to me.
The narration was somewhat off-putting. The narrator's voice was too deep and commanding for this read. It was far too dramatic as this was light and exciting content.

Inspiring! Engaging! Amazing!
This book has singlehandedly been the most inspiring piece of literature for me and my career. All of the stories of women doing great things, tools that we can leverage, platforms where we can engage; you NEED this book. I was sad when I reached the end. It became a place where I could go when I needed encouragement and inspiration to move forward on my path. I highly recommend this book!

Dated Story line
The more I listened, the more aggravated I became with the story line. It has story themes of "Let Me Tell You.....how great I am...how stupid I was...." I stopped at Chapter 17. It became more chapter after another of anecdotal accounts of career stories. The Preface was the best part.
