Suneera Madhani is fully aware that being an entrepreneur is one of the wildest career choices one can make. And yet, this unicorn CEO is on a mission to help more women build their dream businesses. As the former co-founder of Stax, current founder of Worth AI, and founder of CEO School, Suneera has a lot to share about what it means to be an entrepreneur, to shift from a founder mindset to a CEO mindset, and to—more often than not—be the only woman in the room.

Hannah Bronfman has worn many hats in her career: DJ, entrepreneur, VC, content creator. And today, she’s walking through them all…without glossing over the tough parts. After all, Hannah has built a community that comes to her for her openness to share—from wellness advice to deeply personal losses to business plans that inevitably turned soul-crushing. We spoke with her on the heels of her debut on Amazon’s "The CEO Club," and got the updates that you didn’t see on the show.

Jennifer Fisher, the Founder and Chief Brand Officer of jewelry label Jennifer Fisher, and the NYTimes-anointed “queen of hoops,” sits down with Sali today. She’s sharing a glimpse at the 20+ year success story that started unintentionally—with a piece of personalized jewelry to celebrate the birth of her child. It's grown into a lifestyle brand with her personal story at the forefront. From designing to developing her own seasoning salts, to the release of her cookbook, Trust Your Gut, and a new wellness platform, Maedyn, Jennifer is a founder who truly breaks the mold.
