Tara Gentile became an entrepreneur as a young adult. Tara was working in a corporate job when the opportunity arose for her to be considered for a promotion. She had been working hard for this promotion, but was overlooked due to being nine months pregnant. Tara then left this job when her daughter was 6 months old in order to start a Podcast and online community called What Works?
Tara speaks mainly to women in business through her platforms in order to address common business questions. She brings in a variety of guest speakers to bounce ideas off of and create an open dialogue. The topics on her popular Podcast range from hiring and HR practices to marketing and advertising and its effects on target markets. She does not shy away from controversial business topics when speaking on her Podcast. Tara intentionally seeks out various perspectives in order to form unconventional and innovate strategies.
I believe that it is inspiring to look to women like Tara Gentile. She took an unfortunate trial that she had to face in her life as a professional businesswoman, and used it in order to empower other women like her in similar positions. She clearly used a entrepreneurial mindset when being faced with this problem and than building her business to address this identified need.
I love this! There are definitely so many ethical and controversial issues in business, and I really appreciate the fact that Tara is willing to address those things openly and honestly. She shows that being a woman in business is empowering and encouraging!
This seems like a really cool podcast – one with content that is original and not typically discussed. It’s very interesting that she identified a need from her own problem that affected her very directly and in a serious way.
