The series follows the inspiring stories of two female drivers and a team owner as they prepare for each race, face the thrills of the championship, and balance the pursuit of their personal and professional lives. It reveals the human story behind the race by highlighting the sacrifices, challenges, and triumphs these women experience in their personal and professional lives. The challenges and rewards of that journey are something every woman founder can relate to, so don't wait to be moved. Check out #FirstToTheFinish on Prime Video now! Mazda North American Operations

The Secret Society of Female Founders Ever tried explaining to an extrovert that "networking" makes your soul leave your body? ?? As a female founder championing introverts, I found myself actually enjoying a networking event tonight — proof that miracles do happen! The London cohort of The Female Founder Collective gathered for what turned out to be the introvert-friendly version of networking: meaningful conversations and genuine connection instead of business card Olympics. We swapped founder war stories and collectively wondered how anyone manages to run a business, maintain sanity, AND make time for a proper beauty routine. The solidarity was REAL. Highlights included: * Nancy Poller blowing our minds with brand design wisdom * Lidia Treiber, CFA sharing her book journey since she left the corporate world * Kairavee Paul showcasing business bags that are both functional AND beautiful (the unicorn of accessories!) * Me geeking out about supporting perimenopause women through HRT, self-care, and my biohacking obsession since launching my book "Quiet Perseverance - 30 Lessons from an Introverted Outsider's Daughter" There's something powerful about stepping out of our "little bubbles" and realizing we're not alone in our founder challenges. Who knew that connecting with other brilliant women could be both productive AND fun? Looking forward to more of these gatherings—where we can learn, share, and maybe even enjoy networking (don't tell my introvert self I said that).
