Understanding the power of your network with Samantha McKenna

If you work hard, succeed at your job, progress quickly, and contribute to your organization, you may eventually want to start your own business. While being a founder can bring you more money, more free time, and more freedom to implement ideas, there's no denying that starting a business is challenging, especially if you're a woman. 

Women generally face many more obstacles than their male counterparts in entrepreneurship. Some apparent challenges are gender bias and discrimination, but women often do not even have government support, and their access to funding is limited.

In this episode of Taking the Lead, our host Christina Brady welcomes Samantha McKenna, the founder of #samsales Consulting. Sam describes her journey in sales and how she became a founder. Sam and Christina discuss sales, prejudices relating to jobs in sales, and how to create a successful brand.
