Achieving Equality w/ Sabrina Parsons

Sabrina Parsons, CEO of Palo Alto Software, joins the conversation this week.  This episode is a mini-reunion for Kaanji and Sabrina, whose friendship goes back to the late-1980s, when they attended the same, all-girls high school in the Bay Area.  We discuss the benefits of a single-sex education for girls, the legacy of RBG, and tips on how to live an unapologetic life.  Sabrina shares her experiences mentoring female entrepreneurs and advocating for racial and gender equality.
