Monica sits down with unicorn founder, investor, and serial entrepreneur Suneera Madhani to unpack the decade she spent working like a man (hello, burnout!) and what it took to unlearn it.

They get into building her second company on completely different terms, how her ambition has shifted since becoming a mum, how she keeps her marriage polarised as the feminine female breadwinner, and the one thing she wishes somebody had told her about success.

(Important note: Suneera is one of only 27 women in the US to build and exit a billion-dollar company… volume up and pens out for notes on this one!)

They also cover: 🦢 How she reacted when she was told to hide her baby bump while fundraising 🦢 The results from her blood test after working like a man for years 🦢 Her revenue climb from $1 million to $160 million recurring, and how long each jump took 🦢 The postpartum depression she battled after her second baby was born (and working at the same time) 🦢 Founder mode vs CEO mode, and why many women get stuck in the first one 🦢 What she does with her calendar every week, and why she schedules the gym before meetings 🦢 The time she said no to a paid seat on a board and why she still has FOMO about it 🦢 Why her husband calls himself “passive income” and her “aggressive income” 🦢 How she keeps her marriage polarised as the female breadwinner
