Sometimes, the stars fall in the right place, and our three guests are definitely using
their platforms to do great things for women.
Award-winning actress Sharon Gless (Cagney & Lacey); Dawn Lafreeda, largest
female-owned restaurant franchisee in America (Denny’s); and Catherine Gray, author,
TedX speaker, & host of the Invest in Her Podcast. What do they have in common?
They’re Executive Producers of the much acclaimed film, “Show Her The Money,”
which follows four visionary women in their quest to find venture capital to support
their business ideas and turn them into reality. And where did they get the money
from? Women.
This film is knocking it out of the park at film festivals, getting up close and personal
about the struggle for female entrepreneurs to secure venture capital. It also
highlights women in finance with the muscle to turn these up and coming business
gurus into billion-dollar empires.
We will speak with Sharon about her incredibly trailblazing career, and how she’s
immersed herself into the world of women in business. Dawn’s story is incredible,
hosting at a Denny’s in SoCal at age 16, and by 23, borrowing enough money on her
credit cards to become an owner. She is the founder and CEO of Den-Tex Central, and
owns more than 80 Denny’s in the U.S. And Catherine Gray, well, she’s a connector,
TedX speaker, author, podcast host, and has put her heart into making sure women get
their fair share at the business table. Currently, women get just two-percent of the
billions of dollars in venture capital every year.
