54:40Now PlayingUnfiltered Lessons of a Female Entrepreneur with Victoria Montgomery Brown
Moderated by Charles Duhigg
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Women today are founding more businesses than ever. In 2018, they made up 40% of new entrepreneurs, yet in that same year they received just 2.2% of all venture capital investment. The playing field is off-balance. So what can women do?
They can get candid with each other. In this Big Think Live session, Victoria Montgomery Brown, co-founder and CEO of Big Think, and Charles Duhigg, Pulitzer prize-winning reporter, will discuss entrepreneurship, decision-making, and leadership lessons from Victoria’s new book, Digital Goddess: The Unfiltered Lessons of a Female Entrepreneur. The book is a raw and real roadmap for any woman who has ever thought about striking out on her own, and will empower you to get meetings, raise money, and make hard choices—and never get so serious that you can’t still have fun doing what you love.

VICTORIA MONTGOMERY BROWN:
Victoria Montgomery Brown has built and run Big Think for the last 12 years. It’s become the leading digital media knowledge company, making people and companies smarter and faster with the world’s best thinkers and doers. It wasn’t a venture-funded tech darling, born and raised in a Silicon Valley incubator. It’s a scrappy, creative, labor of love that was born in a New York City bar and raised in a rented closet in someone else’s office. It’s had to fight for its existence most of the time. Her new book is Digital Goddess: The Unfiltered Lessons of a Female Entrepreneur (available for preorder).
Brown graduated from Montreal’s McGill University in 1997 and received her MBA from Harvard Business School in 2003.

CHARLES DUHIGG:
Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer-prize winning reporter and the author of Smarter Faster Better, about the science of productivity and The Power of Habit, about the science of habit formation in our lives, companies and societies. Duhigg studied history at Yale, received an MBA from Harvard Business School, and was a reporter at The New York Times for a decade. Today, he is a leading writer on the nature of habits and productivity. He writes books and magazine articles for The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker and The Atlantic.
