TBT: App Helps 60,000 Women Get Paid More

Notes from Chris

Episode 1692

Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them.

Last week, we heard from Nikko Mendoza, who sells 3D printing templates. After he lost his job last year, he started taking his side gig more seriously—and business took off.

Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Meggie Palmer, founder of PepTalkHer. We first featured Meggie and PepTalkHer in Ep. #987: Foreign Correspondent Launches Career App. Both Meggie and her company are dedicated to closing the gender pay gap…. and it’s working! The app and PepTalkHer’s programs have helped 60,000 users (mostly women) negotiate a pay raise.

What’s happened since?

Listen to today's episode to hear Meggie's updates...
