Being a Woman in Male-Dominated Fields with Caro Griffin

On this podcast I love exploring how different people write their own paths, and my friend Caro Griffin has an especially interesting story. From teaching herself to code at 12, to taking a sabbatical from the tech world in her 30s to follow her passion and become a mezcal sommelier, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

Since Caro has experience being a badass queer business lady in not one, but TWO male-dominated fields, I thought she’d be the perfect person to talk to about the challenges and benefits of working in such environments. We also discuss everything from startups and fractional work to being a gringa leading mezcal tastings in Mexico City.
