About this episode

A six figure salary can arrive without any family playbook for what to do with it. Betty Woods, Global Program Lead on the Scaled Success team at Miro, talks with Ashley Russo about growing up multicultural in New Jersey, leading Miro's black excellence community, and pushing back on branding that missed the mark. She makes the case that AI is a tool for brainstorming and strategy while human conversation gives the ideas that matter, and she shares why she started working with a financial planner to plan around stock options and care for her family.
