Serra Vonderhorst, Market Manager at Genesis Motor America, is with us today to discuss the challenges of being a single, working mom. From carpools to teacher conferences to sports practices, raising little humans while juggling a full time job can be extra demanding. How do we respect the challenges of ALL moms while also reaching out to those women who may need a little extra boost? Join me and Serra as we break this down in this episode, and share tips for single, working moms to help with the  onslaught of back to school!
Drum roll, please! For the first time ever, the Carearing podcast has not one but TWO male guests on the show, Scott Joseph, CEO of J&L Marketing, and Sandy Cerami, CEO of Sandy Cerami and Associates. On this important episode Sandy and Scott bravely take on what is needed from our male counterparts to enable women to be the rightful leaders they are - and I have to tell you, their answer may surprise you!  In addition we share what's in store for the Business Bourbon and Cigars mastermind event in Louisville in September and really get down to the most pressing question of all - in a boat race, would Sandy or Scott take the winning title? Hope you'll join us! 
Today's guest, April Simmons, is so special because she has agreed to bravely take us where we have not gone before - a frank discussion on societal preconceived roles and how difficult it is to be the breadwinner as the female in the family. While most of us agree that it is wonderful to support our family in this way, it's no secret that this dynamic is rife with opportunities for hurt feelings, misunderstandings and shame. Join April and I as we explore this explosive topic and help each other unpack what it means for women, and men, and how we can help each of the family members rise in the roles they have chosen.
Today we are with the insanely talented and inspirational, Kerri Wise, CMO of AutoFi, Co-Founder of the Women of Color Automotive Network (WOCAN), and mom of two!

We also discuss the important work she is doing in the space to bring women of color's voices and opinions to the forefront of the industry and the deep sense of responsibility she feels in regard to being one of the public faces of this movement. And finally, we round the episode out with her secret to keeping it all together at work and at home. Kerri is as authentic as they come and if you don't know her yet, you will want to rush right out and meet her after our episode!
