Episode 65: Mary Ellen Iskenderian & Dr. Jeff Schnader

Women’s World Banking CEO Mary Ellen Iskenderian is making a strong statement with her new book There’s Nothing Micro About a Billion Women: Making Finance Work for Women. In this exclusive conversation, listen as Mary Ellen explains how access to reliable internet, legislation and general attitudes toward women around the world have contributed to why Finance has not worked for women historically. Mary Ellen even details how the War in Ukraine illustrates this point on various fronts. Mary Ellen details suggestions on what we all can do to reverse these issues in this engaging and enlightening conversation.
Dr. Jeff Schnader, a graduate of the Columbia College class of 1975 and retired professor from Eastern Virginia Medical College, joins us this week to discuss his new book The Serpent Papers. Dr. Schnader participated in sit-ins, marches and protests, including the April 25, 1972 riot in front of Hamilton Hall where 1000 students were beaten by hundreds of New York City Tactical Police in full battle regalia. Are there similarities that can be drawn between the Anti-Vietnam War movement and recent movements of today including BLM and Covid-19 Vaccine debates? These discussion points and more are unpacked this week on #TellUsTheTruth!
