Jordan Taylor and Edith Cooper on Running a Business as Mother and Daughter
Update: 2024-05-01
Description
At 59, Edith Cooper never thought she’d make a career pivot. She spent nearly 30 years working her way up at Goldman Sachs, but then, she was approached to co-found a company called Medley. Who was the other co-founder? Jordan Taylor, AKA her daughter. The mom and daughter duo launched Medley, a coaching platform equipping Millennial-aged workers with the skills they need to be dynamic, inclusive, and authentic leaders.
In this episode, Jordan and Edith share:
- Whether Jordan calls Edith “mom” or “Edith” in the workplace
- The parts of her Wall Street HR career that Edith misses
- Why we forget to support middle-level managers – and how Medley solves for it
- The moments Jordan relies on Edith as “mom” vs. “co-founder”
- Why boundary setting is crucial to success as co-founders who are friends or family
