This week's episode features Jacqueline's amazing husband and best friend, Travis K. Corley, Sr. It's an honor to have him back on the podcast. Travis is partnered with Beauty Supply Express - a service-based beauty company that is focused upon bringing beauty to the home via a mobile application. Think DoorDash, but for the beauty industry.
Travis has a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and a Master's degree in Nonprofit Organizational Leadership. Therefore, on paper, he is not expected to be involved in tech. He is who I call an "accidental techie," someone who did not originally plan to be in tech - yet his skills have led him there. He has wonderful advice to share for the woman who has found herself in tech, or feels like she has to give up her other passions in order to be involved in tech. Tune in to this week's episode to learn more.

Upasna lives her passion for teaching through processing complex technological topics and distilling them down to their simplest forms so that they can be understood by anyone. She has presented her thought leadership on search optimization and product management at several tech conferences, including the Digital Summit series, Pubcon, SMX Advanced, Conductor C3, INBOUND, State of Search, and Advanced Search Summit.

Upasna's mission is to galvanize women to cultivate confidence and seek the opportunities to amplify representation on the speaker rosters in the tech conference circuit.
