In the second interview we speak with Zoe Elton of the Mill Valley, CA Film Festival about their focus on women in film. Ladies Leading Hollywood.

Technology is advancing so quickly--are humans becoming obsolete? Or are humans still at the center of solutions? We'll meet one woman who is writing about the future, and another who helps non-profits come up with human-centered design solutions. Designing the future, for humans--that's our Inflection Point.
What we eat in America is largely driven by the big food companies' ability to churn it out fast and cheap--and it's leading to toxic environments and a precipitous climb in sugar consumption. On this episode of Inflection Point, we meet two women whose personal experiences led them to start food companies meant to transform the way we eat and drink.
Anya Fernald started BelCampo Meat to raise the quality and locality of the meat we eat, and Kara Goldin started Hint Water to replace 'sugar-free' beverages and encourage more water consumption.
A new kind of hunger game. That's our Inflection Point. 91.7FM and iTunes.
The Women's World Cup starts June 6! Title IX was passed in 1972 to ensure that all girls have equal access to sports. So why are sports so important to girls?

Remember the days of shopping all weekend at the mall, going from store to store to store? One of our guests this week says that shopping has always been incredibly inefficient. But what are the alternatives? You can't possibly buy everything online, or can you? Find out when we talk with Mariam Naficy, Founder and CEO of Minted, a marketplace of independent artists. And we meet Julie Bornstein, formerly the Chief Digital Officer at Sephora, and now Chief Operating Officer at StitchFix--an eCommerce clothing company making personal stylists accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
Plus, find out Julie Bornstein's view on the value of working moms, and hear from Mariam Naficy why failure IS an option--and maybe even a good thing.
Taxpayers spend $60,000 per person, per year on incarceration--far more than we spend on education. The return-to-prison rate is over 60%. And human trafficking is estimated to be in the millions--yet only a fraction of it is reported. We talk with one organization which teaches inmates tech and business skills and another which helps immigrants get out of abusive situations. Bringing hope within reach. That's our next #InflectionPoint.
We all know the stereotypes, but the traditional family roles have shifted. Almost half of women are now the primary breadwinners. On this episode, find out how women--and men--are handling this shift. With Izzy Chan, director of The Big Flip and Laura Pilz of Merril Lynch.
71% of fortune 500 companies provide mentorship programs that help women get ahead--but are they done well? And more and more women own their own business, but they still lack confidence.
