Jamie Vinick founded The Women's Network, an organization that helps young women navigate the professional world, while studying finance and marketing at Syracuse University. After attending a speaker event within the business school, she was frustrated that there was no discussion of gender issues in the workplace. She wanted to create an empowering community for ambitious, young women who were also trying to launch their careers. What began as a college club is now a nationwide network; there are 142 TWN chapters on college campuses across the country. TWN also has a podcast, Redefining Ambition, in which Jamie interviews successful women about their journeys. 

In this episode, Jamie discusses how she minimizes comparison, copes with rejection, and aims high. She also talks about life as a founder and the the process of starting TWN.
