STRONG LIKE a GIRL

STRONG LIKE a GIRL is a podcast hosted by a girl named Tanya LaBuick - an entrepreneur, a powerhouse C-suite leader who's led teams on the world stage, and scaled start-ups into multimillion-dollar companies. From work with the Olympic Games, to Super Bowls, and the FIFA Women's World Cup, Tanya has a thirty year track record of success working with major corporations and betting on herself as the founder of LaBuick & Co. Tanya believes resiliency and perseverance are choices. Tanya champions women; she is driven by the unshakable belief that every woman deserves the right to take up space and play boldly in any arena. Now in her 50s, Tanya is ready to talk about it all.
