Show Quotes:

"Those companies aren't built for people with families, you know they really aren't, and so how do we create software companies in the future where it's balanced?  It's about sustainable growth. It's about creating work environments where you can pick up your kid and you can go and work after dinner if you want but that the volume of work isn't so crazy that you can't really have a life. How can we find this balance where we get the best of people over a longer period of time instead of having higher cases of burnout and things like that. That's what we are trying to provide."

Guest: Mary Morrison considers herself fortunate to have raised a family in YYC while pursuing her passion for solving real-world problems in executive roles throughout her corporate and founder life. One of her significant commitments is Wilma, a project that Mary shares with Terri Phipps, co-founder, and CEO. Mary believes that ensuring the safety of women and gender-diverse people is crucial and has a significant impact on everyone. She finds it disheartening to learn that many women who drive in the gig economy carry weapons and often do not report assaults. Additionally, sexual violence among ride-hail riders is one of the most underreported criminal activities in cities, and this fact cannot be ignored. Wilma was created to eliminate the guesswork and provide hassle-free travel from point A to B. The project is an inspiration for Mary and Terri, and they are motivated by the impact they will have. They believe that their innovative approach will lead people to question, "What did women do before Wilma?"

Show Quotes:

"When you are not feeling safe, you are not confident, and when you are not confident, you are not empowered and when you are not empowered all of a sudden you have diminished a lot about yourself. We've been in a meetings where people say "is this really a problem? To 30 million people it's been a problem and those people have families and they go to work and they live in communities so yes, it's a problem and you are probably very fortunate if it hasn't impacted you yet"

"Wilma is attracting people who say, this is a problem and I want to be part of the community that is solving it."

On co-founder dynamics, Mary says "You have to test for understanding and you have to test for outcomes."
