I admit it; the title is a little bit of clickbait. I received a set of important and cogent questions from a concerned mother-of-daughters who was wrestling with some of my male-oriented comments and advice recently. In this episode I seek to thoughtfully explore and articulate the differences between male and female career aspirations and leadership in society and discuss openly some of the challenges we currently face.

This episode was quite difficult to do because in our current public discussions we seem to orient towards extremism, rather than taking an honest look at the world, accounting honestly for differences between men and women without diminishing either sex. 

I did my best with these important questions; I hope my comments spark some useful conversation with you and your loved ones.
