Women's Safety Boot Founder and CEO Supports Women in Nontraditional Fields, with Emily Soloby of Juno Jones
Listen now
Description
Emily Soloby is on a mission to advocate for and support women — physically with her safety boot company, Juno Jones, and in general — by normalizing the idea of women in nontraditional fields. From a high schooler known for her boots to now creating her own footwear company, Emily's varied career path has always included helping women.   She’s the co-owner of AAA School of Trucking, a trade school, and also the host of the Hazard Girls Podcast and Face Book community that helps move the conversation forward on women’s issues in hazardous and male-populated industries. While growing a small truck and heavy equipment safety training firm into a national business with her husband, she noticed that there was no women's safety boots, especially ones that she'd actually want to wear. In 2020, the Kickstarter campaign for Juno Jones was fully funded in only 29 hours, and she began her mission to pair safety with style.   Emily has a BA in Women's Studies and worked as a domestic violence victim advocate while in school. During law school she served as Legal Intern at the National Organization for Women in DC, which solidified her passion for advocacy work. Following law school, Emily worked as a trial attorney with Legal Aid, helping women and children in family law and domestic violence cases. She went on to receive her master’s degree in Broadcasting and is now using those skills as a podcaster and storyteller. In all of her current and past roles and jobs, the consistent part has always been advocating for women.  Contact Info: Emily Soloby  - Guest @emilysoloby (Instagram) Emily Soloby (LinkedIn) Juno Jones website Julie Berman - Host www.womenwithcooljobs.com @womencooljobs (Instagram) Julie Berman (LinkedIn)  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure what you want to be when you grow up?
