Women Rule
The Women Rule podcast is led by the dynamic and inspiring Politico journalist, Anna Palmer. Why the name, you ask? Well, because women are taking over, silly! Masters in the arts, politics, business—you name it, they rule it. It's tailor-made for all you women who aspire to stand tall in those high heels. But hey, men, don't feel left out, there’s wisdom aplenty for you too. Ever wondered how the world's most powerful women made it big? Here's your answer, sneakily disguised as a casual chat. From hotshot CEOs to senators, they spill secrets, share laughs and provide a "how-to" guide on ruling the world. Women Rule—grab your headphones and prepare to be both informed and empowered! But beware, the side-effects may include unstoppable ambition!
