In this episode, Kayte Malik, of Dress Code, shares the mission of her company: to empower more girls and women to get involved in coding through creation and innovation. Kayte and the panelists discuss confidence, owning your accomplishments, and debunking the myth that code, tech, and STEM are for boys only. A word from our sponsor: What would it look like if we all… listened more? Listening to audiobooks inspires us, motivates us, even brings us closer. And there's no better place to listen, than Audible. Audible has the largest selection of audiobooks on the planet. And now, Audible members get more than ever before: each month you get 3 titles of their choice; 1 audiobook, 2 Audible Originals, and fitness programs that you can't get anywhere else. There's never been a better time to experience Audible. Right now, for a limited time, you can get 3 months of Audible for just $6.95 a month. That's more than half off the regular price. Give yourself the gift of listening. And while you're at it, think about giving the gift of Audible to someone on your list.
