INSIGHTS FROM THE FILM

"You could say, ‘I don’t like what’s happening in this industry, so I’m gonna pack my bags and go the other way.” Or could say, “I don’t like it and it can be done differently, so watch me."

Cindy Eckert, Founder & CEO, The Pink Ceiling

"I’m a big time speaker now, but no one talks about the fact that I used to speak for free all the time at my financial detriment. Being underestimated is a gift. Put all those no’s in your pocket and let them motivate you."

Gary Vaynerchuk, Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker

"We all come with different histories and backgrounds, and we all have to notice that those histories are culture adds. Silicon Valley has this weird idea of “culture fit,” and that’s destructive. I don’t want you to fit, I want you to add."

Megan Smith, 3rd Chief Technology Officer of the United States
