Changing The Game

#14: Former Hofstra D1 softball player and current Senior BD Manager at GeoComply, Ash Ainbinder, gets real about courage, career pivots, and finding your people. We talk jiu-jitsu and why doing the thing that scares you can change everything, plus how an athlete’s work ethic translates to the boardroom.

Ash breaks down her nonlinear path into sales (“make friends and solve problems”), the power of saying yes early so you can say no later, and why community matters, from The Post to Work Like a Girl. We also dive into the value of in-person connection, building digital trust, and creating a “locker room for life.”

What is Changing The Game?

Changing the Game is a podcast that highlights bold, inspiring women who are redefining leadership and carving their own paths across different industries, backgrounds, and life chapters.

Hosted by Jordan Duren, each episode dives deep into the stories of female leaders who have navigated transitions, taken risks, and challenged the status quo. From corporate trailblazers to creative entrepreneurs, these women share the real, unfiltered truths behind their journeys—what it took, what they learned, and what they’d tell the next woman ready to rise.

If you’re ready to break the mold, own your story, and lead with purpose, this show is for you.
