Today, we are spending time with Susan McPherson.

You know the game “Six degrees of Kevin Bacon?” Well, today, we’re playing Five degrees of Susan McPherson.

Trust me, you can do it.

Susan is the consummate connector. She. Knows. Everyone.

But more than that, Susan CONNECTS with everyone.

She wrote a book on it.

Susan is intentional in how she connects with people and also in how she supports. She is an active participant in the growth of female founders and women-owned businesses. Through her human, social AND financial capital, she angel invests in dozens of women to help them realize their dreams.

We talked about her entre into entrepreneurship at the age of 48, the ways to build and grow a business and HOW to work differently than so many of us have been taught to lead working in spaces that were filled with people who didn’t look like us.

And we talked about the phrase: “Be careful about doing business with your friends.” – a message I truly feel is said to women so much more often than it’s said to men.

And it got me thinking, how DO we have a personal relationship with someone AND then, decide to do business with them?
