Adrienne’s incredible, multi-passionate guest - Shannon Marie Whittington - is a John Maxwell Servant Based Leadership Expert, author of two books, a leadership consultant specializing in LGBTQ inclusion, a transgender health expert, and a Registered Nurse. We discuss what it’s like for people to live in a heteronormative world and how the LGBTQ population handles all the prejudices in families, companies, and the healthcare system. Lean why all companies should learn about LGBT inclusion, and how the nursing profession has evolved from ‘just’ bedside nursing.

What is The She Leads® Podcast - Wealth Building & Business Growth?
The go-to podcast for women entrepreneurs and leaders growing and scaling to $1 million and beyond while building lasting wealth. Each week, Adrienne Garland offers real and insightful conversations that dive deep with bold women entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders across the globe — stripping away the sugar-coating to get at what actually matters. This podcast is for driven women entrepreneurs and leaders growing their businesses for profit and impact.
Adrienne is a Professor at NYU and Rice University, an entrepreneur, and a business growth advisor. She's also an MBA grad, and that bold business friend who asks the questions other women in business podcasts shy away from.
Topics covered: scaling to seven figures and why it matters for women and the world, funding women-owned businesses, amplifying your voice and visibility, building high-value networks, leadership, designing entrepreneurial ecosystems that benefit humanity, the importance of financial acumen and literacy, and wealth building strategies
Less than 2% of women-owned businesses scale beyond seven figures. The She Leads® Podcast exists to change that.
