3x13 - Breaking Rules, Taking Risks, Closing Gaps: Shelley Zalis on Fighting for Equal Pay
Oldish - with Brian Austin Green, Sharna Burgess and Randy SpellingShow Notes
134 Years to Close the Gap? Not on Her Watch.
Shelley Zalis isn’t waiting around for equality to catch up, and she doesn’t think you should either.
She’s the powerhouse behind The Female Quotient and creator of The Equality Lounge, global platforms that have redefined what it means for women to lead, connect, and rise together. Dubbed the “Chief Troublemaker,” Shelley has spent decades shaking up industries, from founding a multimillion-dollar tech research company to challenging gender bias at the highest levels of business and media.
In this episode, Brian, Sharna, and Randy sit down with Shelley to talk about the emotional cost of the gender gap, how far we’ve come (and how far we still have to go), and if we keep going the way we have been it could take up to 134 years to close the pay gap globally - unless we do something about it. From boardrooms to parenting, ambition to allyship, Shelley brings hard truth, humor, and a blueprint for equity that’s as bold as it is overdue.
