Ep 50: On encountering sexism and racism at every turn, with Anu Shultes

Anu Shultes is the CEO and Founder of Ahead Financials, a digital banking and financial health platform. She is an entrepreneur and Forbes 50 over 50 honoree. She started her career as an engineer in India, before moving to the United States. While she felt welcomed at college in the U.S., upon entering the ‘real world’, she started to face discrimination. This is just the beginning of Anu’s story.

Anu’s career is the red thread of all the ups and downs that many people experience. Anu touches on, how as a woman and an immigrant, she felt that she had to earn her place at the table; juggling the responsibilities of a working mother; what it means to be a woman of colour in business; how her battle with cancer gave her new perspective; and how her story has impacted her mental health. Stay tuned for more from Anu.

Specific topics covered in this episode include:

Resilience and acceptance;
Sexism, ageism and racism;
Faith and deep values-driven belief.
