Throughout her corporate consulting career in the 1980's, Robbie Hardy continued to rise in the ranks.
However, according to Robbie, "I kept thinking there had to be something more. I was the always the only woman in the room, but I kind of didn't know that was weird because I didn't know anything else."
So in 1993, Robbie founded her first company - and then sold it two years later.
She's an entrepreneur through and through, and she's passionate about helping women invest in women.
Today, we hear her story, including a sneak peek of her next book!
