Julia has been an on-air reporter for CNBC since 2006 and has interviewed many of the world’s most powerful executives & entrepreneurs. Julia is also the author of the book “When Women Lead: What They Achieve, Why They Succeed, & What We Can Learn From Them”. Her book is a deep dive on what Julia calls “odds-defying leadership” female leaders utilize to power some of the world’s most innovative & successful companies. In this conversation, Andrew & Julia explore her career & actionable lessons on high-impact leadership, the power of asking questions, turning your “outsider” perspective into an advantage, & so much more. This conversation is a roadmap all of us can utilize to achieve more success in any personal or professional endeavor.
