This week, Julia is interviewing Margaret Burgraff, a tech executive from Silicon Valley who, as the sole provider of a family of four, fulfilled her dream of a personal ‘exit’ (aka retirement) in her early 40s.

Blood in Margaret’s veins runs green. As a proud Irish woman, she arrived in the US 20 years ago to start a successful career as a quality manager for firms such as Apple and Intel. In this very honest conversation, we talked about building competence while faking confidence, strategies to outperform that she would advise against, the threat of letting real-estate become emotional investments and how the death of her best friend provoked her to take the time off she had long planned for.
