Haley Hoffman Smith was recently named by Forbes as one of today's most influential female speakers. She is the author of Her Big Idea, a book on creativity, ideation, and women's empowerment which debuted as a Top 3 Bestseller in Women & Business. She is a regular keynote speaker who recently spoke at Harvard, Yale, Microsoft, TEDx, and more. A recent Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Brown University (2018), she wrote her honors thesis on how women develop their sense of self-agency in entrepreneurship and venture capital. She is also the founder of the Her Big Idea Fund in partnership with Brown University's Nelson Center for Entrepreneurship, which awards grants to women who apply with BIG ideas. Having founded an international nonprofit for girls’ literacy and empowerment at age 18, she has harnessed her own self-agency to surpass doubt surrounding her age and gender.

At Brown, she was the President of Women’s Entrepreneurship and started the first-ever women’s entrepreneurship incubator. She cares deeply about identifying and obliterating the limits women feel in the pursuit of their ventures, so they may live in their full power and create their own BIG ideas. Haley has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Business Insider, and the Washington Examiner, and writes for Entrepreneur and Thrive Global.

Brace yourself my friend. There are a million and one things to learn from this conversation, but here are a few of my favorite quotes to look out for:

- “The real power of a dream is instilling in us the will to aspire.”

- “I’m going to be big and pervasive and you’re going to see me do it with lashes on”

- “It’s during the time when everything goes wrong that the true innovators come to the surface”

- “You need to do it as soon as possible”

- “You become what you believe of yourself”

- “Go to the limits of your longing”

And so... much... more.

Get ready. This is a good one.
