Leslie is first joined by Catherine Gray, Co-Founder of the 'She Angels Foundation,' which works to generate funds in order to support female founded non profits that are helping women.
They discuss how America has a female VP on her way to the White House, but still has a 98 percent gap in funding of women-led startups— a glaring indicator of gender inequity and unmet potential economic growth in the United States. Catherine also details the work that she and her organization are doing to address this inequity.
The website for her foundation is SheAngelsFoundation.org, and the Twitter handle for her film series is @SheAngelsSeries.
During the second half of the show, Leslie is joined by Col. Cedric Leighton, Founder and President of Cedric Leighton Associates, a strategic risk and leadership consultancy serving global companies and organizations.
They evaluate President-Elect Biden's nominee for Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin.
Leslie and Colonel Leighton also discuss the debate around choosing someone to fill the position who recently finished their active duty military service.
Colonel Leighton's Twitter handle is @CedricLeighton, and his website is CedricLeighton.com.
