In life and leadership, we all have our own hurdle rates—the standards, risks, and possibilities that determine whether we move forward.</p>\n<p>Each episode examines the thinking behind pivotal choices: launching a company, changing careers, taking creative risks, or redefining success. With a particular focus on elevating the voices and experiences of women in these fields, the show looks beyond titles and resumes to uncover how bold ideas and meaningful work take shape.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><em>The Hurdle Rate is now produced by Grainline Works.
